OK, all good sound logic, I like logic.

Hence the F1 wheel: relatively small diameter wheel with large profile rubber = light, low rotational inertia.

So its the usual compromise situation. Do you want the looks or the performance? Best performance would be to actually down-size alloys, but best looks are probably from up-sizing & lowering ride height.

Bugger.

I want both!
