    Which would drive better. 15" BBS or 16" throwing stars

    Just a quick question, which would drive better in terms of cornering ability and also comfort.

    BBS RS001 15x7 ET25 on 205/55/15
    - lighter (less unsprung weight), weight closer to center of hub
    - i assume better acceleration + etc

    AKT throwing stars 16x7.5 ET20 on 205/50/16
    - i think the slightly lower profile tire might handle better?
    - lower offset + wider wheel = 24mm wider track overall. this might be better for corners?
    - pretty heavy though. wheel + filled tire is about 18 kgs i think

    bottom line, which would you choose based on driving feel. disregard looks, price, etc.
