As Fubar said, also cost.

15s are faster than 16s or 17s

Tyres for 15s and 17s are cheaper

Personally i woudl go for 15s

ask yourself this:

do you want your car to look good, or drive good?

id go for 15"s just for acceleration, thats why i put 15s on mine (not that its fast to start with anyway ) plus i was only £140 for a set of 4 Hankook tyres on mine

What is all this 16s will slow you up business?? b****cks!!

This is a comparison between mk1 172 15s wheels and mk2 172 16s. Hardly any difference.
Specification Sidewall Radius Diameter Circumference Revs/Mile Difference
185/50-15 3.6in 11.1in 22.3in 70.0in 905 0.0%
195/45-16 3.5in 11.5in 22.9in 72.0in 880 2.8%

The difference is 125 revolutions per mile!! Thats f**k all!!
I appreciate there is a difference, but do you honestly think it would be noticeable?
