15's By far. With our low Tourque engines Every Ounce of rotational mass counts.

As far as which wheel......... I dont konw, Maybe the C10.

I have a set of 15's Slipstreems for when I race (Autocross).

Like I said, Every Oz counts.... when dealing with Rotational mass.

also, by making your wheel/tire combo as light as possible, not only are you helping acceleration, but you are improving breaking and cornering. Most people dont realize how important Wheel weight is to the performanc of a car. then again, most only look at 0-60 or 1/4 mile times........ Oh well.

grid tends to look small because of polished lip. i would go with rota circult 10. bronze would look good

I'd get the new C10s. The grids look too much like a knock off.

I know... but if you compare the Grids to real TE37s, they're not very close. You can tell they're knockoffs. Compare MF10s to the C10s its a hell of a lot closer.

what tire size is recommended for 15s and 16s? i'm looking at tirerack.com and they're giving me 195/60/15, 205/55/16.

but some members here that i've seen are carrying 205/55/16.

if i was to get 15s in C10, what size would i get?
16s in C10?

I'd get as wide as a tire as I could fit. also Tire size is dependant on what you intend to do with them.

For racing, get as "small" as a tire as you can. Like For my racing wheels I have a set of 205/50-15's, a bit smaller then stock (But much wider).
