Ok so...
less rotating mass = reduced inertia = faster accel/deceleration? lower unsprung weight = less up-down+side-to-side motion = better grip? |

Faster suspension response (up and down) due to less weight. The shocks don't have to absorb the heavier mass; and, faster steering respone for the same reason. "Quick" is the word when lighter wheels are installed, as in, "dayum, dis steerin' sho is smooooth' (spoken in inner-city ebonics for emphasis).  And....the lower the profile tire, the greater the risk of damage. Typically, its best to use a 15" wheel with a 60 series tire to absorb the punishment of road hazzards. You get super quickness and ride quality at a slight penalty in handling. I'm going 15's...
