    Personally, I don't care for large wheels and low-profile tires. After balancing several of them, I see most of them wobble from pothole impacts. I'll take a smaller wheel and more rubber.

    I take both!! On my Galant I put 16" and loads of rubber, I don't care about the speedometer don't give me right number (drove 120 km/h means 126 km/h GPS speed) .... just love loads of rubber

    In the wet it spins, but then it revs till fuel cut, then just dies. And it doesn't have enough torque to spin into 2nd.
    Maybe I should try using the steelies, 14x4 lol. No grip there.

    Yeah true, after awhile it did stop spinning .... unlike the Galant which does burnout in the rain, even on 2nd gear .......
