why do I feel guilty that I prefer the Meteors over the Unions.

Here are my reasons why the meteors are better:
-The unions are kind of square-ish. Whereas the rounded Meteors suit the 75's curves.
-The Meteors have a centre cap which covers the bolt wholes.
-The Meteors looking more sporty.
-Better handling from the wider tyres.
-In my Mk.II specification brochure the unions have been dropped. The meteors are still listed.

Don't get me wrong... the unions are fine. But I'm due for new tyres & have been floating the idea of getting meteors for ages. I'm just trying to justify it to myself.
