Default need input to decide between 16" or 15" wheels to chose for my hf

just like the topic says,
i got it like a month ago, it'll be my daily or weekend warrior ride, but i want a feel a kinda track response suspension also, since honda already known for its great road handling ability
so far i've got koni yellow with skunk2 coil over, front and back neuspeed sway bars, neuspeed front strut bar, neuspeed, rear lower tie bar, cusco rear strut bar, da rear disc brakes, wilwood front big brake kit (11")
i heard that 16" wheels will do better in cornering than 15" wheels, but 15" will do better on a launch since its smaller and maybe lighter
what are u guys opinion or input? which size is better off to go with crx?
oh yea, i'll stick to single cam, (on doing a mild built sohc )
lmk guys

I have 16" konig traffiks on my crx, Did a nice (flat textured black) refinish job on them, and love how they look and fit. Gotta say that overall 16" rims look right on the crx.

Get whichever you want.

There are a lot of good 195/50-15 tires for 15" wheels, and 205/40-16 tires for 16" wheels. You won't see all that much difference in performance either way.

I vote 16's. 15's are too small, and 17s's are too big IMO
