Default 14" wheels....too small??

Is anyone running 14" on their SiR or similar?

I have a mate with Mugen's in 14", but I was really looking for 15"

What do you reckon, too small? Just looking for opinions.

probably the best for lightness, but i'm not sure if you'd fit a 195 width tyre on 14's for good grip.
15's are best compromise, 16's are best for looks, 17's are faff

I've Mugen CF48s on my SiR and they're grand, although the car would probably look better slightly lowered on wheels that size.

I would definately go for 14s but mainly for drag racing..
Widest tyres with lowest profile, would be savage track/drag wheel not sure would they be my everyday set up I found the best for this 15s with sticky 195-50 tyres...
Then again I have a pretty good choice
2 sets of Mugen RNRs and a set of white Volk TE37s[8D]
