You can ignore all this for Hill climbs, too.. the car must 'work' from the start line with everything cold...

I've just gone from 15 to 14-inch wheels and saved more than a kilo per corner.. Yay!

Good move Oval, going the right way, why not 13"? Even lighter with Kevlar tyres, Some wheel types foul the lower front ball joint I know, especially with drop spindles, a few German guys are onto them o.k, , and for circuit racing, gearing needs looking at to run 21/22" tyres.
