BIG Decision! Need your input.
alright, ive decided to go with flat black slipstreams, they are my original favorite... but what size should i get? 15" or 16". ive heard that with 16" you have slower acceleration, but how noticable is it?

h: ), but the gist is that the futher from the center of a circle, the longer it takes for mass to travel, like on a record, or the solar system, whatever. The inside doesn't travel near as far.with the weight being further out (and since 16s do weigh a bit more than 15s, typically), its only natural that 16s would make you slower than 15s, but unless you're riding on some heavy-ass 16s, you won't really notice it that much. (the 16s I used to rock weighed 27lbs a peice, so I noticed, both in accel and in top speed)
I will admit that 16s do look perfect on the 96-00 (proportion-wise), but my take is that the car was designed with 15s in mind. And again, the rotors fill more of the gap with 15s, for obvious reasons....
