i was thinking 16s...18s in my opinion look rediculous.. do 16s fit nice?

 

[spoiler=Large Pic][/spoiler]

I'd say 16" is just fine.
Those are 16x7" alloys with 205/50R16 tires.
(And yes, I know the picture is a bit underexposed. h: )

 

THe LS/GS/RS had 14's, GSR & Type R had 15's. I've had stock 14's and aftermarket 15's and 17's on my Tegs. 17's and 18's look good, but are typically heavy, more expensive and look a little silly with stock brakes and stock ride height (lifted look). I currently have lightweight 15's with a 205mm wide tire. Its a pretty good size for the Teg. It's quicker then than with 17's due to the reduction in diameter of the wheel and the tire, as well as the weight reduction. The stock GSR "blade" wheel was around 14lbs for the 15" so I ended up getting the Konig Feather instead. It's very light 11.5-12lbs and is even lighter than some of the forged wheels like the Motegi Traklite, Volk, SSR, Kosei, and Gram Lights. Check out TireRack and Discount Tire for specs on wheels. It really depends on what you're wanting with the wheels. Looks, performance, price, strength or all of them combined. More important than size and weight is offset. This is often overlooked and can be very bad for the handling and the performance of the car if not taken into consideration when looking for wheels. Hope this all helps a little.

 

I have had 17's, 16's and now 15's. I prefer the 15's of all rim sizes.

 

I would have to go with dave on this. Although I hate the rims I have the 205/50/16 is a nice fit. Just a little drop and it looks good.

 

From personal experience...

15s



16s



17s




15s have the most tire selection, tires are cheap, gearing doesnt suffer, the only downsides are "looks" (subjective) and you cant run big brakes.

17's are strictly going to be for looks...and maybe for big ass brakes.

16's are a nice balance of the two, but tire choices are limited.

 

yeah i see how the 17s would be for looks, 16s are indeed hard to find tires for, and 15s, i guess if i have the right ride height and tires, the 15s can look just as good as the 16s, im plannin on taking my stock gs and putting dome eibach springs that lower the ride 1.3"...i guess 15s it is, less expensive too

 

i like that you dont want to lower your car too much. post pics after you get the eibachs. i'm assuming pro kit by the mild lowering

 

15s, had them on both of my previous cars. Actually it was the same set

 

yeah dude no prob. ill post some pics after, and yea the pro mild lowering. deff, i dont want a low rider haha...plus after i put a new exhaust on, cant have that scraping on the ground...
