Find a different vendor.  Three weeks ago Discount Tire/Americas Tires
moved my 185/R14 Agilis from the stock VW steel rims (14", 5 1/2") rims
to stock VW alloy 14" /6" rims without any question.  They sold me the
Agilis originally.  There was absolutely no comment on their part about
swaying.  And my own experience, although subtle, the Westy feels a hair
MORE stable on the alloys.
Question for the list:  When new and equipped with alloys, what was the
tire size provided by VW? 185 or 205/70?
