MK1 - Larger wheels = worse handling?

I’d love the 15" BBS wheels, but I have to make do with 14".  Mine are the only ones I’ve ever seen without the lip on the outside for balance weights, but they are genuine Mazda spec (and stamped ET45 between the mounting holes).  Biggest disadvantage of BBS wheels; you have to remove the centre caps when parked anywhere dodgy, because that’s £500 worth of plastic waiting to be nicked.

 

 I have a set of these 15" BBS ultra-light wheels with centre caps and a couple of very good Toyo T1Rs fitted, message me if you are interested?
