Wheel Help

I'm debating to get either 14x7 Team Dynamics Pro race 1.2 (13 lbs each) or 15x7 Enkei Racing Series RPF1 (9.5 lbs each) for my car. I dunno which wheel requires more energy to rotate.

The 14x7 will require more energy to rotate.

14" will also look stupid on an Em2.

I would go for a 16" RPF-1, but 15" RPF-1's will work too. Use a 205/55/15 tire. or 215/50.

Re: (Vantage)

It'll also depend on how much the tire weighs, but my choice would be 15x7 or 16x7 RPF1s.

14" is the smallest rim that can be fit on the car to clear the calipers up front. I would recommend 15" rims at the bare minimum, because they'll allow for better tire options, and a much better look overall.
