15" wheels on clio 172

Hi, my clio has the standard 172 wheels with pilot exaltos. Is a 16" wheel better suited to the car handling wise, because at the moment i quite like the little wheel look it has now. thanks

Not a lot of difference to be honest.

You'd get a slightly sharper steering response from 16"s due to the lower profile sidewall, but you'd be hard pushed to feel that on the road.

You'd probably also get a slightly poorer ride.

I'd stick with the 15"s - cheaper rubber too.

thanks mark

Do you think a set of renault 19 16v wheels with pirellis p6000 are a good set of track day wheels, they are the same ofset and everything, i was thinking about spraying them up for a bit of a laugh as my dad already has them...
