Scientific paper

The scaling relations between rotation velocity, size and luminosity form a
benchmark test for any theory of disk galaxy formation. We confront recent
theoretical models of disk formation to a recent large compilation of such
scaling relations. We stress the importance of achieving a fair comparison
between models and observations.
