I run stock 16's because they are cheap. If I had the spare cash I would go for a lighter wheel.

But I can buy a couple sets of Hooisers for the price of a light 17.

Jason, I believe Jason could have handed everyone their asses that day on any size tires, thats just damn skill. I remember one autox early this year that i rode as a passenger with him and nearly wet my pants, no wait, i did . He is just that good

Although what you say may be true, I still think that one of the fastest S2k's on the planet uses 16's. The Spoon car's new Work wheels are 16's. I dont know if its because of certain rules or what, but i believe they run the 205/225 tire sizes as well.
