no idea. what ever wheel weighs the least.

i think 15" will give you the best performance.

Im having wheel trouble aswell. Mines got these stupid cheap boy racer wheels on that look awfull. I want to get a set of bbs' but they have to be 16" or bigger due to 'enhanced' brakes! Im having trouble finding some, and it would be nice if they were cheap!
   Any advice?
     Cheers Dave

The list of problems gets longer and longer! Suspension, gear linkage, clutch, random revving at idle, brake hoses, rusty boot, dodgy wheels, and nasty paint on bonnet. I love a challenge!!

Take a look at some 15 inch OZs, There light as anything and if you have around ?800 to spend a set of OZ superleggas would suit you fine. There the lightest street level alloys you can get.

well u'd probably need 2 set of wheels then cause after a trackday your gonna be needing new tyres

so set of steels or cheap alloys for the trackday. and a set of nice BBS's for normal road use

alot of people i know who trackday there cars ovehere. take along there trackday wheels in the boot and once at the track they swap them over. then swap them back again on leaving the track
