i personally like the look of the wheels, i was just curious as to what size u guys would go to. currently my ls has the stock meshies on it and they are 15". so jumping up to a 16" wheel would look nice but i dont wanna have to worry about bends a really low prof tire cuz i live in jersey. also i dont wanna sacrifice acceleration. lemme know what u guys think about size and about the wheels themselves. if u guys have any other wheels u like link up and pic and lemme see em. im not set on these yet so id like to see everything.

16's....you can still run a 45 series tire which will have plenty of sidewall.

what about affecting acceleration cuz of the larger wheel/smaller tire?

The overall diameter of the tire is so close you won't notice much of a difference....rotas are light anyways.

Pics on My Webpage of 15" circuit 8's if that will help.

The 15"'s are sexy enough

15's bro! I almost got them in bronze for my car.. But didnt wanna replicate a Sti.. 15's though, You will be much happier with them. Rota Rims for the most part look much better in smaller sizes. just my 02. + the lighter the better!

Ep's have wheel bases like 4 door acccords..HUGE! I sold my 17's to a friend and I swear they look like they are 16's.


For his car tho, 15's are ideal. Lighter, better on gas, nicer to look at.
