Collected my Soul Hunter Auto 25th Jan - very pleased with my upgrade from Soul 2.
Had dreadful rust problems with Alloys on previous model so opted to go for 15in steel wheels (Looks just the same as with18in wheels!) and boy is it a totally different ride!

On the rough roads where I live I still feel every bump but find steering easier. 
Dashboard indicates if PSI too low.

Note the Fuel indicator and Temp gauge have swopped position in dial on dash.
The privacy glass on rear doors and back has already earned a nickname from work colleagues - 'Pimp Mobile'!  Looking forward to the lure of the summer months with the opportunity to use my sunroof...

Thanks, Tempest, your Soul is in the right place!  I feel more confident to source some 15" steel wheels from somewhere now, in the light of your observation about the USA fitment of 15" wheels.

Fabfizz- did the dealer agree to the wheel swap down to the 15" steels?  Mine wouldn't, so where did you get your Hunter from,--please!

I hope when you come to sell it with 15" wheels instead of the standard 18" wheels that you find somebody who will have the same opinion as yourself. Does it effect your insurance?
