What did you replace them with James? Mine are looking  pretty battered!

Hi Martin. 

Sorry I missed your response. I went to the f sport 18 multi spokes. They're lovely looking but definitely have a minor effect on mpg.

You can use 16, 17, and 18" wheels without any issues. Just make sure they're the correct size for your car. You can also check the correct tyre size from the driver's door sticker.

 

15" wheels can't fit due to the size of the stock brakes, and I'm not sure if 19" won't be too big. If the car is using bigger brakes than the stock ones, you won't be able to fit 16" as well.

 

Mine came with 18", but I use 16" during the winter. There is not much difference in comfort between the two. However, there is a significant difference in the steering wheel response when you go lower. I would say that 18" wheels are the best option, since the car rides great and is very responsive when turning the steering wheel.
