I just acquired a 2nd gen ITS car with 14" wheels. The previous owner thought they were an advantage. What do you think? 14 or 15, why, and how important is it?

If you have the 14" wheels, then you have a 4-lug car. These are not optimal for Road Racing as they don't have the 'big brakes'.

I am assuming that the perceived advantage was in gearing. This would depend solely on the tracks you run. You could find yourself short on MPH in spots where you need it.

I would upgrade to the five lug set up if I was going to RR.
