15"s would be better handling wise i would think

Like dan said 15's would probably handle better. I have 16s and it handles well, never had 15's on my car but i'd say they'd have a slight edge over the 16s handling wise

15's are suposedly faster too as they are lighter:D

depends what you buy, nick106's 15s are lighter than my 15s, handling wise though i reckon 15s would be better.

well im planning on grahite Ulltraleggeras so either way the 15 is gonna be lighter, btw is it possible too get a 205mm width on a 15" rim?

Not sure but you'd have rubbing problems surely?

16" look great but would only have them if i had a massive set of brakes.

14" Are excellent handling wise, tyres are cheaper i'd imagine!

15" Are a happy compromise look good, more lightweight than 16's, no where near as much arch scrubbage. Personally i'd stick to 15"s

Hope this helps

well i had 15's on my 1.1 so i know where im at with them, is it possible too get 195's on 14" rims? On the standard ones maybe? i was thinking about getting some ultraleggera's in 14's?

16's aren't neccessarily always heavier though... for example a set of TD 1.2's would be considerably lighter than 15'' ultraleggera's.

really, ultralegeras are lightweight.
