Default Wheels for daily driver- 15" or 16"???

My plans are to buy some Rotas (yeah, cause they are cheap) and use them for daily driving duties...then buy some race tires for my stock wheels.

I wanted to go with the 16" for the Rotas cause it would lessen the wheel gap even more and I think look a bit nicer then 15". The weight difference is only like a pound or two...so Im not that concerned.

Any opinions?

195/50/15 or 205/50/15

lots of good, sticky, CHEAP tires for those sizes. The 15'' rotas are cheaper and lighter, and yes the 3lbs. difference will be noticable.

i would use aftermarket wheels for racing because you can get wider wheel widths
to make better use of the wider tire.
