I am going to get smaller wheels as a 1.4 19 on 17's really is'nt great.

I have been looking at 15" OZ superleggera's. Reasons being, their 15" and also 4.9kg's per wheel.

Will I see an increase in performance/handling?

yes, a notable one, assuming your 17s are heavy-ish ones

BK racing, they are fooking heavy when lifting them off the car.

Would it minimise body roll a bit? I don't know Rolling Eyes

no not really, will cause more body roll if anything

Body roll is not the be all and end all of handling though!

After having been in a car that has gone from 17's to 15's the difference is quite literally amazing
