Anyone? Are 16s not a good size for newage cars considering its heavier than a classic?

If they are legit Volks they should be uber light! Your car will feel lighter when turning directions and the ride will be better too as there is less un sprung weight.
I had some light weight wheels on my Celica and the difference it made was amazing. Also if you get some you may want to upgrade to some light weight wheel nuts. They look ace and will weight about a quarter weight of the regular ones.
