So I’ve found some wheels that I really like

Worth doing? Or better left on the revolutions currently fitted?
Give me your thoughts please
Thanks
Paul

they should put warnings on the details for the wider rims because when I was looking at one site in particular, that very same site couldn't even offer tyres to fit them, what are you supposed to do just stretch-fit some narrower tyres, or what
