I guess it is a tough decesion. I'm not finding any 13" LRR tires anywhere.

I'm really looking at the Michelin Energy Savers.

I'm not sure if I should go with 15" tires and mini wheel combo. I'd like to go with a more aerodynamic wheel.

I'd like to go with the stock 13" crx wheel since I could thinner tires for it. Although the gear ratio with going with the 15" wheel would probably be better than having a 20mm thinner tire.

Another influence was I could sell the imola wheels to pay for the tires.

I'll post pictures of both wheels. I'd like to know some opinions on which wheel would be more aerodynamic. Both pictures have been taken from what I could find on the internet. I cannot decide if one is far more substantially more aerodynamic than the other.Thank you.

tl;dr Which wheel has better aerodynamics?
