16" or 15" if you can, big wheels are for handling via thin sidewalls.

I use 225/50/15 DRs for Drag Racing and 225/50/15 R Comps for Roadracing....
I like 15s b/c they are cheap and give me the gearing I want....

tires are what gives you the gearing wheels in 15 inch tend to be lighter. but theres also the use of 16 can get light wieght and low profiles tires that do wieght less do to less material used.
