I think they are decent. I mean...you get what you pay for of course, but they are fairly light.

As for size, it just depends on what you have done to the suspension. If you have anything more than a 2" drop, expect some rubbing. Adjustable coilovers would be best.

IMO motegi rims can get played out really fast.

go to wheelmax.com, and they have deals for 17s w/ tires shipped for like 499 all of the time, and they look way better than motegis. i got my 5zigen typhoons there for way cheap. they have great cutoer service too.

LOL...

I had 16's with a 45 series tire and I hated the ride. So much torque steer and way too bumpy. Now I have 15's and a 55 series tire and it's so much better.
