I think you have to weigh up how you want the car to ride and how it looks, style over function or visa versa. 14s with 60 profile tyres will give a more comfortable ride as the tyres will act as dampers with 18-22 psi. 16s with 40 profile tyres will look better but give a harsher ride and maybe less grip as the side walls don't deflect as much.

Function over form for me. If it's a choice between looks and handling, I'll go for the second!
Comfort and harsh ride are of little to no concern for this car

smaller wheels are less unsprung mass, better everything re handling...

I'm sticking with the 14" Mazda alloys for now, although I may get some 14" team dynamic 1.2s in black with Maxsport RB5 tyres!
  I don't intend to be driving fast in wet weather!  Last edited by CTWV50 : 1st May 2011 at 01:27 AM.

Oooh, I like the look of those tyres!
Is it wrong to get excited over rubber?  I think I'll stick with the Mazda wheels for now, and maybe treat it to some new ones post IVA when the bank balance has recovered.
