Default Wheels?

Does any body know if i was to fit a set of 16inch wheels on my Turbs would the accelaration be affected at the moment i have the original 15s. I know if i was to go for a set of 17s then the accelaration would be slightly slower any Advice on this would be helpful . I dont know wether i should go for a new set of bigger wheels or to have my wheels diamond cut which ive been thinking about doing for a while what do you think CHEERS

iv had a set of 16's on my rs since i bought it a year ago.i have just replaced them with a set of diamond cut standard rims!!i found that the accelaration is slightly better with 15's.i think diamond cut and polished is the way to go mate.
