BBS RS 15" or 17" ???

Which do think would better suit an EK hatch? I was going to custom make one of these:

Hmmmm, i'm gonna sound like a hypocrite here since i run Rotas on my daily but....

Don't buy BBS replicas man - at least not those ones, they look groce...

And to your question, i reckon 15's look good on EKs - 16" max. 17s mean you have to run a skinny tyre so the car will ride like crap and you will be dodging potholes so much you won't enjoy driving your car...

The ones your looking at are not 3 piece and not genuine. Dont know how your going to customize that as they cannot be re barreled.
If you do get wheels for ek, try to get 15-16 inch as 17 is way too big...

If your after customizing a legit BBS RS its going to cost and arm and leg.
I have roughly spent 2.9K customizing my BBS Rs's including buying the wheels.

In the end its your choice, if ur after the $800 price range, i suggest Enkei 92's or even some 2nd hand wheels off yahoo auctions.

Like senna said - run 15s or 16s.. i had 17s prior to my 14s now (lol) and even with low pros and stock height i had rubbing and scrubbing - mind you my guards weren't rolled and that was around corners/speedbumps

got worst every time i had a passenger.. go 3 piece if you can, better quality and better versatility - if you want to change face of wheel you can.
