Glad to hear it.
I did get offered to buy a Piazza from SA the other day, no motor no front brakes. I think it was on the Gemini forums. If youve got the room its a handy supply of parts.

The only thing you might find will be that you can use a little higher profile on the 16's to make them look better on the Piazza.
195/60/14 is about the same size tyre as the std 13 on a Gemini.
It converts to about a 195/50 in a 15".
Ive got 205/60/15's on the back of my Piazza and im seriously considering swapping to bigger than the 195/50's that ive got on the front. I wont be able to make the call as to what will fit till i put the front bumper back on after i do up the front suspension.
Ive got a pair of new 195/55's here and also a pair of good used 195/60/15.
Yeh so what im sayin is that those wheels on your Piazza might have the little tyre look.

Seems our little Gemini owning friend got a little over-enthusiastic. Car is still in my driveway, and havent heard from him at all.
