[QUOTE="rollakid, post: 744634, member: 6588"] I'm not a pro, but if i'm given a choice, i'll choose the smallest set of rims i can fit in my car without giving problem to the brake system. IMHO, the more powerful your engine is, the stronger your braking system should be. the stronger the braking system the bigger the rotors and calipers (generally). thus you need bigger rims if you have upgraded brakes. there's once a tread posted in zth saying all the rims and their weight, i found that nomater how lightweight a rim is, bigger rims always seems to be more heavy. heavier it is, the more momentum it holds, thus bigger rims will have slower respond to pickup and braking, well, think of the flywheel, lightened flywheel react faster and also slow down faster. 15" is just nice for your car IMHO, but if you want abit of asthetic to your car, 16" won't be overkill i think... note: dammit i just found out how heavy a brake disc rotor weight >_< some of them weight more than the rim themselves >_< [/QUOTE]
