The smaller you go, the lower your center of gravity... and the better it with handle.
I have 17" that i used last season for everyting (solo2, daily drives) but Im using 15" wheels this year for track events and the 17 for daily use.

Hi

The centre of gravity thing is true, but when you reduce your tyre radius, you have a smaller tyre footprint on the road.

Holy Cow! I just got an email back from a Porsche wreckers and they want a gorilla ($1000) for a set of scratched as wheels, no centre caps and no tyres. They can get stuffed.
