Is there a reason that you would like to go 15" instead of 13"?

Try and speak to people that have had both to get a good idea - or failing that, speak to people with 13"s and 15"s and ask why they made their choices...

I've got 15" 1.2s. If I had my time again i'd go for 13" Comps.
Reason is I use it most for track days and it's easier to get slicks fo 13" rims than 15".

If you are using Cortina geometry and 15" wheels the offset will be 23. Not sure on 13" offset may be the same.
I looked for ages trying to find an alternative wheel as I wasn't originally going to use Team Dynamics wheels. I found it impossible to get an offset of 23 in another wheel I liked, so I went for TD and I'm glad I did now as the quality is superb.
Which ever TD wheel you go for 13 or 15" I bet MNR will give you the best price.

I got the 13" Compomotive CRXs from MNR. I dont see any reason to go for 15" except looks unless you need big brakes for some reason. 15" are heavier than the 13" so increase your unsprung weight unnecessarily.
