I agree... I replaced some off brand Chinese commercial tires and the 14" rims with 16" rims and Nokians...ran with that setup for about 6 months and made quite a difference in looks, ride, noise, etc.. also a couple of weeks ago replaced the KYB gas shocks with the Bilstien XHDs all around. These changes along with the GoWesty zero lift springs have made the '89 Westy a joy to drive.

I have to go for 15" rims in my next tire change...
