Is anyone running 16" rims on an NC for Autotest or Sprint events.
Brian Goodwin recommends them for an NC and they are cheaper (as are 16" tyres).
But not sure how they will look and more importantly, perform.

You really need to use the search function, but YES, many NC drivers use the 16x8 RX7 wheel for trackwork then swap back to the 17 for daily drive.
Using a 225/45/16 tyre lowers the gearing fractionally and aids performance.
