15's for me.

the car seems to handle better and pull harder.

Agreed!:approve: I've gone from 16's to 17's then to 15's (been the best size imo and cheaper tyres ftw!)

 

[drhowser]

^^ tyres!!

i forgot about that too. massive advantage!

not much in it really. 15's are very sharp. 16's are fine and look great, 17's look awesome, but are expenisve on rubber and need a god drop. No difference in lap time between 16 & 17 around knockhill for all the haters!

well i have a set of pro race 1.2 in mint condition 15 " and a set of 172 just been refurbed in anthracite look very nice but i want the best in handling and speed to be hornest and does any1n have a pic of a monaco 172 with the pro race 1.2 on it

15" accelerates better...

16" = not too small... not to big like 17" imho.
But each to their own.

17" is expensive rubbers indeed.

Best handling? Get the lightest rims for improved handling. That's why Turini's are so popular (not only on Clio's)
Speed as in topspeed or nought to 60 sprints?

i dont know why everyones mentioning 17s as he asked absolutly nothing about that size.. I'd say it would handle better with ur 15s tom once u get new tyres but id say ur 172 wheels look better and suit the car more

Provides a fuller picture thats why!! Calm down.

Tbh I've been in 2 rs' with 17's. Ride was very poor. Won't make a difference in lap times, but on the road you'd feel the difference.

 

[tomtom172]

any 1n with a pic of a monaco 172 with black pro race 1.2

If you were going on track alot I'd have thought 15s would be better, but for a daily driver with the odd track day I'd stick with the 16s. Thats what I'd do anyway.

I'm going 15'' very soon.

This. My old Cup was nice on the 15's, and gsd3's for £30 each is a bargain tbh!!!

I'll keep your 16s safe

 

[Clio_in_Motion_2008]

im running 15's now...with good rubber around em n they are sooo much better than 16's.. but each to their own n that

 

[tomtom172]

[cliosportap]
