I don't like the huge wheels either, but it depends on the tire height also. I want to run some fairly tall tires, 29 to 30 tall, so we will likely use a 16 or 17 inch rim so there isn't so much heavy rubber around the outside, should handle a little better too, but if you use a 27 or 28 tall tire, I think the 15 inchers would be good, I just dont like the "rubber band" look, but think a "little" bigger wheel is ok depending on the tire height.

I DON'T MUCH CARE FOR THE BIG WHEEL LOOK EITHER. ESPECIALLY WITH THE O-RING TYPE TIRES SOME PEOPLE PUT ON THEM. ABOUT FIVE DOORS DOWN FROM ME, A GUY HAS A CHERRY 68 IMPALA,BEUTIFUL PAINT WITH ALL OF THE EMBLEMS REMOVED. REALLY A GORGEOS CAR. HE HAS A SET OF 22" RIMS ON IT THAT JUST DESTROY THE FACTORY HOT ROD LOOK. I PERSONALLY DON'T CARE WHAT ANYONE DOES WITH THEIR OWN VEHICAL, BUT WHEN I SEE THOSE... WELL PUKE KINDA BACKS UP IN MY MOUTH A LITTLE. JOHN
