Hi guys. I need help figuring out if I should stick with the standard 15" wheel size or upgrade to 16".
I think the perfect size for the Cooper is the 15". To me the 16" and up starts to make it look "toyish." However, I am wondering about the performance boost in steering and handling of the 16" vs. the 15". Is there enough to be gained with the 16" over the 15" in order to justify the purchase not on looks, but on driving attributes?
So far, what I've gleaned from the forum has been that the 15" give more of a "throw-about" feel and the 16" give more of a "planted" feel. Is this correct? What would be any other pro's and con's of both versus each other?
I want to make sure I make the right choice on wheel size!
Thanks a bundle guys! Look forward to your responces!
