i would get 16. they will fit a decent size brake kit, and they arn't that heavy. there are also more tire options for 16.

Go 15 at the most. depeding on the class and the rules I would use 13x8.
But 15x7 is a great all around size.

You must be looking in the wrong place.
There are easily more R tire options for 15's

I'd go with 15s. I'm seriously considering ditching my 16s and going down to some 15s simply because of the better tire selection.

I race with stock Si rims with Falken Azenis (mostly auto-x and a little track time here and there). Perhaps a good rule of thumb: get the smallest size wheel that will fit over your brakes.
