17 & 16" wheels?

[Dy_]

I just want peoples opinons on what size rims i should get? originally i wanted 16s because they're lighter and i think wont cause problems like scraping.
But I cant seem to find alot of stuff in 16s? some guy at a place was telling me most of them come 17 now.

So if i chuck on a set of 17s is it gonna effect anything?

thanks!

If you're after practicality and light weight, then keep looking for 16's you like.

17's FTW

good 16s r hard to find.

[Muzz]

Keep searching! I got 17s when i first got my car a over a year ago, now im looking for 15s, god i wish i just started with 15s or 16s.....

Theres plenty on nice 16s out there, just need to look more. Dont rush it cus you might be looking for a second set of wheels before you know it, just like me $$$$$:(

Patience is a vertue (sounds good, no idea what it means:p)

if you really want 16s, then yes dont rush...keep searching until the right one comes along! i like the larger rims myself...18s

[krogoth]

both 16z and 17z are good

performance wise....ther wont be much difference between either one

ther are plenty of light weight 17z out ther.....but if u really want 16z ther are heaps too

damnz i had nice 16s that i traded for 15s lol
16s look nicer on an EK though cause they look pretty big compared to EGs and that

so, to provide a definitive answer? all you provided was an answer that cancelled each other out. hence not answering anything at all. haha

Ok,

17s - usually heavier, tyres more expensive, less tread potentially, may be defectable depending on cop, sluggish performance + handling (according to dc2 owner).

16s - opposite all the above.

Go 16s, with right lowering, they will look the right size, and you will most likely retain performance, and more than likely improve handling due to the thinner sidewall/wieight of the rim. all about equilibrium.
