Well I went 16". I would have gotten 17's but i didn't trust the roads and I didn't want to be that careful driving and bending my new rims. Also 17's can get heavy. IMO

compromise and go 17. i bought some rotas from cashis eg8 on this board, he has some very good prices and he's a good seller. you should look into something steel gray or gunmetal, that would look tight on a white car.
btw, depending on what kind of wheels you get, they can be fairly lightweight, even when they are 17s or bigger. for example, my rota subzeros are 17s and weigh under 17 lbs.

A dark wheel looks damn tight against a white car. At first, I was thinking of getting 17's for my car, but I'm glad I didn't get them becuz if I had the money now, I would go 16" or maybe even 15" for performance. What I'm saying is ure tastes might change, but do what you want:thumbup:

I would recommend you go with 17's; 18's are a bit much for our Integras. Even with a decked-out bodykit, 4" drop, rolled-fenders, etc., it's a bit of a hassle (not to mention stock-bodied Integras w/18's look rather goofy). As for the weight comment, here's some food for thought. My 17" Volks wheels are lighter than my stock GSR wheels and I'm a bit slower off the line. Of course, if you talk to BlownGSR, he'll tell you he was faster after he switched to 17" Volks.

For looks - I'd go 17's. For performance I'd go 16's. I would have gotten 17s, but 16s were a little cheaper and the tire sizes were a little easier to come by.
