what rims are better

I have a 3.1 v6 with the stock 15in rims
and 4 16in rims off my friends 91 formula he crashed

now the 16in rims are wider but since my body is the same as the formula without a V8 that shouldn't be a problem and the 16s look nice on the car to idk why that put 15s on the base models. but the question is should i keep the stock rim or put the 16 on

Pro & con

Put the 16s on.

The car will look better, IMHO. Will handle better. And stop better (more rubber to the road = more "grip" to stop with.

Which 16s are they?
