14x6" wheels for 1.7 33?

Hi,

Can someone please let me know if 14x6" ET 26 wheels are a worthwile upgrade for a 33 1.7 8V or 16V that will soon become a track/hillclimb car.

Or should I wait till 15x7 come up for sale?

Thanks

Lemi





P.S. I'll introduce my self later when I get some pics of my 33's that I've just bought.

For track I actually favour 15's. Maybe that's because of the limited good tyres available for my country for 14s.

I cant remember off the top of my head, but aren't the stock rims (series 2 at least) 14 x 5 1/2's? In which case you're only gaining 1/2 an inch width. Go for 15 x 7 minimum, the difference in handling will blow your mind...and tyres...so many choices for much less money than 16' or 17'
