Whats wrong with the treads? I thought the purpose of a forum was to share information- The more information shared the more valuable the forum. maybe im wrong here. If thats the case maybe i should keep my inquiries and car talk to my local group, in person.
Im serious though, whats the problem?

Well, the application would be for 95% street use, and some track days when the time is available. I do prefer the looks of the 16s, but im not sure if something like SSRs 16x7 or so can out perform a set of say, konigs. Id like to find out what the performance gain really is by sticking with the 15s. I understand the whole bit on increased rotational mass. if i understand correctly, the tires weigh a bit more than the rims, so i assume it may be possible to keep a good tire/rim combo (16s) and have an equal performance level to a set of average 15s due to say, the rotational mass being closer to the axle. Has anyone gone from 15s to a good set of 16s or viseversa?

I went from stock 14's to Motegi 7 spoke 15's with 225-50's and it slowed me down A LOT! The traction was excellent, but the added weight sucked. My acceleration is better with the stock wheels/tires, although now traction limited, and the steering feel and turnin is a lot quicker and lighter. Im ready to sell the old ones and get some 14's or 15's that are as light as possible, such as Emilo's 6UL's.
