I am considering upgrading as above to Superlegerras from the standard wheels on a MY96 turbowagon. The car is otherwise stock standard. The car is not used for track days. I anticipate that traction and steering response will improve due to less tyre flex, my concerns are with any sacrifice in noise comfort and ride.

a) Will the car be more likely to "tramline"
b) Will it be affected more by camber changes?
c) Will it transmit more road noise?
d) The car will occassionally be used on forest roads :-) but not at rally speeds, will it be more susceptable to tyre damage?

I know some of you have made this change so any feed back would be gratefully received.
