difference in track times
i was wondering how much of a difference it woudl be to have 16 inch wheels as oppose to 15 inch wheels on your car when running at the track. Is it a siginificant difference or a small difference?

Re: difference in track times
what size are the tires? what brand are the tires? how much do the 15s weigh? how much do the 16s weigh? there are too many factors with such little info. for instance the weights may be the same but you may have shitty tires on the 15s and great tires on the 16s. or you may have lightweight 15s and heavy chrome 16s. the size of the tires will make a difference depending on the sidewall height and how much air pressure is in them.

My 15in. Rota's weigh at least 12 pounds. Just wondering, you must have paid good money for those.
