Nothing shows that 17s are quicker. I can attest to that, as I've seen RSCs on 17s be outhandled by those on 16s.

This is also the reason you see all small hatches on Semis usually running on 15 inch rims.
Unless it was driven by the same driver its not a fair test.

And yes ppl run 15's because they are so much lighter than larger rims. To compensate they run very stiff suspension but still not as good as a true lightweight rim in a larger size hence large rims being used in motorracing
