i got 16" rotas wrapped with Yokohama 205/50ZR16. they grip real nice, i love them. my car is dropped 2 inches and they only rub when i make sharp a$$ turns. i can only imagine how much 17's rub. i spent about $800 at discount.

15" or 16"

17" is to big for a DA or DC2 teg...

I run 16" 5Zigen Fighters, 205/45R16 tyres. Light and strong rims for the price, anti-bling finish...love em. :thumbup:
17s will fit, but it's a cosmetic choice IMO. I chose light weight and subdued looks over ostenatious "Come Steal Me" rims. h:

for a while i was content with the OEM 15" alloys. however, 16's would do nice (especially if they are lightweight). tire size you will most likely run is 205/50-16.
