I'm about to order some new wheels for the Pumarse, and wondered what you prefer. Be it because of tyre prices or whatever reason.
I'm thinking of staying on 15's, I know brakes are an issue under them but I'm thinking of going with some Wilwood calipers at some point so can run a 280mm disc or something.

I have run15 & 16s and prefer the looks and handling of 16s over 15s & 17s

17's allow for st170/mondeo 300mm brakes

So do 16's and even 15's

I prefer 15's. Plus there cheaper tyres then 16's

Was supposed to say 16's, I thought 15's needed the calipers triming to fit under

Some 15s clear the 300s with Mondeo callipers.
We are using this set up on our race car

Yes pro race 1.2s clear fine, im running st170 calipers and discs and theres room left with my 1.2s.

For simplicity and choice of tyres - 15's
16's are a ballache size for tyres, they're not hard to get but they don't have the choice available to 15's and 17's.

Awesome, I'm thinking of red for mine!

Tyres are the next thing, would like to run some silly semi slicks but probably OTT.

I'd just go with a good tyre, Yoko A539, Parada, Toyo Proxes etc...

Someone may know better but semi slicks are a bit of overkill and can cause issues with other parts unless its fully sorted.
