Default What size rims

I want the look of the 17inch rims but I know that 16's are lighter. Should i go for looks of lighter weight.

Really, why? I know a guy with 18's and those are a little too big but what is wrong with 17's?

Rule of thumb is you shouldn't do more than +2" in wheel size on any car for optimal handling.

17's would look okay but I think 16's are better.

Of course this +2" rule is thrown out the window when it comes to trucks. h:

OK, I haven't heard that rule before. I was just checking out the rims I want and I will probably be ordering them soon. Thanks
