Ok, I have been looking to get a set of 17 inch slipstreams and have looked a pictures of them and the most popular I have seen are the 15's with a large profile tire. Is that the style or is there more function than what I am seeing. Are the rims so weak that require a little more meat for protection against are sh*tty roads? My buddy has a set of 17's on his WRX with low pro's with no prob. Just wondering, I am new to the import seen but have done my fair share of customizing on other vehicles.

I know they are kinda played out but I like them and I have never seen them on a civic where I am at surprising enough, So CAL
