Default 16 or 17's on 5th gen?

Well this month or next month im going to get Gramlights in bronze on my white 96 accord. I know this has been talked about a lot but im really trying to decide on to get 16's or 17's? I want performance and dont want 18's and I think 17's would be perfect but 16's would be better for performance. What you guys think?

17's

Like that 40lbs or so you just saved would give you a second in the 1/4 mile...

16s if you want performance. But i like 17s for overall so i'll go for 17s Gramlites are light weight so wouldn't matter as much! I think Works Emotion CR 17s bronze would look awesome on your car.

since they are gram lights i would think the 17s are still very light and would not effect performance. go with the 17s, unless your going for the racer look.
