As long as you don't have a problem keeping those wheels spinning, why go down a size or two?

not really happy tail, need to throttle harder to keep it sliding (dry condition track ). im hoping changing the wheel can make the diffrent, i guess.

going with smaller rims to help with lighter wheels and lighter tires. but just going smaller may not help if you do go smaller go with something really light cause your tire will probably get a little heavier
