Alloys

I uze my K10 Micra for autotesting... I was thinking of fitting 14inch alloys instead of the 12inch steels. Will i restrict the sharp acceleration if i do this?

Depends on really upon what profile tyre you put on I think... For example, a smaller rim with a taller tyre will have the same outer diameter as a bigger rim with a low profile tyre and therefore same acceleration

Also depends on the weight of the rim/tyre combo, rotating a larger mass decrease acceleration.

Im sure it depends on tyre width aswell... Its a 175 45 14 i was going to replace the originals with... Any thoughts on how much this would hinder acceleration?

Where are you getting 175/45 r14? Would love a profile like that but I can only find 175/50
