Wheel dimension ?'s for autox
I'm having trouble deciding on a wheel for my car. I've narrowed it down to either 15" or 16" and I'll probably get either a Rota Attack or C8. Here's my dilemma:
I prefer the look of the 16" over 15". However, the 15's are considerably lighter while the 16's offer a larger contact patch for greater traction. Which is more important, a few less pounds or larger contact patch? Any experienced advice would be appreciated.
I am aware of rotational mass and how it affects acceleration. Currently I'm running stock drivetrain but plan on swapping to a B series in the near future. Yes, I know that will move me up to a more difficult class for autoxing, but I can live with that.
