I mean, logically I would think that less sidewall would mean less flex and through the 450 bajillion properties of physics that would basically be a good thing. Could be wrong, though. Either way, those wheels would be perfect for the track.

Makes sense to me...

At the track, you could run some Nitto 205/55/14's (NT-01's or NT555R's)... amazing tires! They're approved for the road as well, but get absolutely terrible treadwear of course.

A great link:

Does anyone know what is the width and offset of the 15" factory wheels?

I think that wheel above is great I want to look at other wheels too.
