#3931, "RE: what size rims?"
In response to In response to 7


          

I also went back and forth on this one. I chose to go with 17's, b/c as it was mentioned before, it's probably the best compromise for both speed, handling and show. Any bigger hinders performance. Luckily, there's a lot of 4g63 talk on the exact same issue at www.DSMtalk.com using search option.

I think my car looks pretty good with 17's. I've seen Ryan's car rolling around with 18's and they look pretty good as well. Just not that much different in my eyes to justify the add'l money, loss of performance...etc. One aesthetic note to consider. Any rim that doesn't have the spokes that leads to the extreme outer part of the rim will visually look smaller than a rim that does have the attribute. Keep that in mind no matter what size you choose.


Everyone's gonna have their own opinions though. I'm sure in your own gut, you already know! It's a big buy and there isn't another mod that will more dramatically effect the looks of your car, so choose wisely.

Just get what YOU like.
