In my opinion it still does not handle great, but does handle SAFELY, which it did not with 15's. I can't imagine what a joke these cars would be with 14's.2012 Mazda5 Touring | Finally working on the LTD again!

Ride quality is pretty much a subjective thing. The ride quality changed when I went from the stock turbines to the 17" American Racing wheels, but it wasn't drastic. The wierd thing was after the Speedway spring swap I didn't notice much difference other than feeling more of the contour of the road rather than the bumps. In retrospect, I wish that I had gotten 17x8 American Racing wheels on all fours; I could use a bit more rubber.

As much as I love old cars, I feel no nostalgia whatsoever for some aspects of them. Drum front brakes, wheels smaller than 15", etc.
