1st gen road racers, what wheel size do you guys use?
Trying to figure out the optimal wheel size for my GSLSE. I currently have two sets of wheels, stock 14 x 6 and 15 x 7 aftermarkets. With no power steering the 15's feel harder to steer but have more traction so the car doesn't float around as much. I'm thinking of getting 14x7 wheels with 195 profile tires. What do all you racers think out there?

Better tire choices in the 15" size. I run 15 x 7 wheels with 205/50 VR15 on my 83. The extra steering stiffness is an added bonus, in my opinion. Keeps ya from overdoing it as easily.
