whatever fits over the stock brakes and is the lightest would be my guess. i would bet the centerline is lighter... irocz wheels in 16x8 are HEAVY and slow you down. smaller tires for less rolling resistance would be better as well

Re: iroc wheels vs center lines

unfortunately, niether one has a really good tire offered in those sizes. 16's have more than the 14's, and the 16x8 will spread the tire out more than the 14's...i would put the 14x6's up front for the reduced rotating mass, but keep the 16's out back for tire selection, then find a 15x8.5 or 15x10 centerline to match for the back later on down the road.
