15" OR 16" is the ???
i drive a 92 CIVIC hatch
with most of the goodies
but i have the opportunity
to swap my 15" alloys and rubber, (perelli p7000)
for a set of 16" alloys and rubber. (bridgestone postenza's re-???)
rubber doesn't matter i'll change either of them ...
regardless of the rubber, my question
is what size would be best for all
around performance??? what are the
benefits and disadvantages on both
size rims? does one out wiegh the other
in performance??? regardless of the look,
i like both of them the 15's are just a simple
6 spoke rim, and the 16's are just an old skool
Hockenhiem R type rim.......so looks don't matter
to me i like both, just want to know performace wise
which would be best.

Re: 15" OR 16" is the ??? (Snatchback)
Well if it were me i'd stick with the 15s. Here are my reasons for sticking with a 15in wheel.
15s are gerneraly lighter
15s generaly are cheaper
15s have a huge selection of tires
15s have cheaper tires
15s look best on 5th gen hbs (my opinion)
15s or 16s it's your call, i would personaly stick with the 15s for the reasones stated above. I'm not all that into looks and 16s do nothing for me 15s have all types of advantages over 16s. In the end it's your car not mine, i'm just supplying info to help out.
