Well I actually was looking at 16s because its supposed to make good handling improvements especially for track use. I reckon 16" MO5 look quality but saw a set in 15" for which is why is was wondering

Yes his car is pretty nuts. Its running 309bhp at the moment but he has clearly spent a lot more money than I could afford. I just wanna be able to keep up. I figure with a bit of confidence and good set of wheels and tyres I'll be making a good start. Although TB and remap will follow shortly after. And I hen eventually......inlet!!

they are track wheels with semi slicks
smaller wheels = cheaper tyres, especially when buying semi slicks

not my cup of tea but I can see why you would for track use
Can be a bit embarrassing sometimes when you try to turn round a tight corner and have to do a 3 point turn because you don't have the turning circle
"It's because the wheels are big honestly"
"Yes course it is mate"

I use this to my advantage, any car thats got a crap turning circle makes people watch for longer
