15" or 16" rims

Wots your thoughts about using 15" rims rather than the more standard 16" rims. It means you can have more tyre for the same effective road diameter, but what are the other significant differences.

Why do you use wot yu got (and wot are they)?

so you get a larger sidewall for the same rolling diameter. bearing in mind that the sideall is the danger area of a tyre as its thinner and if you get a puncture on the sidewall it cant be repaired, is it really such a good idea??

i dunno - hence the Q - just wondered why some peeps opt fur 15" and some for 16". I assume a larger sidewall would give more flex and give - which is possibly better off road.

A larger and thinner sidewall will give a more comfortable ride on road, but as has been said are more prone to offroad damage.

Large side wall and big wheels = more ground clearance.
Large side wall = more likely to get a puncture

saw a set on ebay not so long ago, deep dish 15" ones on some half decent tyres and although my thoughts where "its conna be a comfy ride" your gonna loose out on cornering due the more flex in the rubber and also when off roading if yer run low pressure yer stand more chance of ripping yer sidewall if yer on anything tuff.
