I think they should have stuck with the 18" ones, part of the success of the (old) BTCC was the cars looked beefy, and young hooligans looked up to the cars. 16" wheels will look a bit pathetic, on a high powered machine. I know they wanted to reduce the wheel size to increase braking distances and increase overtaking, but they could have achieved this by reducing the size of the brakes.
Hell my Dads car has 17" wheels (Suabru Impreza) |

That's right. Super Tourers used 19" last year, and BTC Tourers will use 17".
