They're 4x100's mate. Stockies on your VTi-R are 15". So do you like them or feel you need bigger ones? 16"s are the biggest I would go. I have 17's and thinky they're too big.

16's look better.

Best size if your looking for something between all out performance and looks.

My thoughts exactly, but not that many ddecent rims in 16".. only 15" for lightweight track use (intended use) or 17" bling-blings..

another problem is due to the above, tyres for $16" rims are often more expensive than for egsample 18" rims thanks to the market not really supporting 16" rims..

I have 16" on mine.
stock was 195 55 15. now im running 205 45 16.
rubber is about the same cost - $175 each tyre.

17's look nice but decreases performance. I have seen 14" rims on a VTiR before, the poor guy thought they were normally 14s .. err.. no.

power to the ground better - 15 inch

nice all rounder - 16 inch

look tough for the ppls - 17 inch

bling bling factor while ridin' them 18's yo - priceless.

^_^

16's I reckon.

Would 16" look OK with stock ride height (ie not lowered)?

YES!

YES!

You run 16" with stock ride height? Do you have a pic of your car online I could see, please?

16x7 rims are fine, even with lowering - not to the ground of course :roll:

i'm running 205/55R16 Azenis with a 2" drop, no rubbing at all.

16s are a nice in between for looks and performance....

go the 16s 4 sure with 205/45s no rubbing at all if u got a reasonable ride height and they look spot on :)

yea.. 16s are the best for EK... increase handling without loosin too much tourque... of coz... light weight wheels would be the best option...

i got 16x7, tyres are 205/45/16, the offset is +43..
cars lowered 2" back and 2.4" at the front.. which leaves zero finger gap at the front tyre, i get rubbing every now and then when taking a hard corner n hitting a bump in the road, but other than that, its all good! if ur not lowering more than 2", u will have no problems

I thought id semi-hijack this thread instead of creating a new one.

What offsets would fit an EK without too much trouble? Anywhere from 36 -> 44 ???
