   i will be getting speedline comp 2 in white like in this pic and was wondering if it would be better to get them in 14" rather than 15" for acceleration, also would there be enough traction with the 14" if i got cams aswell

   15's vts's come with 15's as standard and as dan said they are light wheels so acceleration wont be a problem

   Vtr alloys are again very heavy and as said earlier the speedlines will be much lighter. My old 16" superlegs were alot lighter than my 14" vtr alloys.

    15's mate, you'll struggle for traction with the 14'2 unless you run tractor tyres to keep the overall size the same!!
