What I have always wondered is the difference in handling characteristics between the two diameters.
Ron,
Is there a difference?

Ron,
Is there a difference? | Not as much as I would have expected. The 15" wheels actually seem to have LESS sidewall flex!
As I did expect,the Hoosiers have ALOT more grip.
Here's what I decided on for the wheels.
What do you think???

Your car looks absolutely stunning. The colour you picked and the ride height, how low the body is and covers the rear wheels...

I like them, the car looks lower than with the 15"s. The 15"s give the car a more raw and brutal look. As john pointed out absolutely stunning. especially the rear wheelwell look

Yep - That's the ticket! I have always liked the polished rim look with painted centers...

Not too bad, Ron! Not too bad at all.
Q: Do you have the right-side spinner indents detailed in blue? (This will see how many train-spotters are out there....!)
