Default 15" wheels on s2k?

I just looked at a best motoring dvd (battle @10,000 rpms) and there was a spoon s2000 super taikyu car with what looked like 15" wheels. If this is true why are people not running 15's on their s2k? Wouldn't it be better for gearing? quicker response. Is anyone in here running 15's on their ap1/ap2?

I don't think 15's will fit over the front calipers

Yeah, I would vote against this. I actually don't mind 16's on an S as much as everyone else does, but 15" is too small.

If it was SW388s, I think they just look small, probably were 16" rims.

I have a buddy on here with 15's on his car..

he's got an AP1 with an Ap2 motor and 4.44 gears... and believe me, with those 15's on his car releasing all that unsprung weight... his car hauls ass... you can definately tell a huge difference between ap2 rims and those 15's he's got..

i really dont know the name...
