Here's my car with 17s.
If you want looks go with 17s, but if you want to race it and get more performance, go with 16s. The extra rubber with the 16s can really help when autox'ing.

The black car in picture above is great, would like to see a list of mods and the cost of mods it has done to it. Mine is yellow but if ever can get the belt issue solved will start customizing it a bit.
Regarding the rims, Ive decided after all the helpful advise that 17" is best but no sure what rims. I like both the MOMO corse rpms and the Enkei pkr.

So the question is what are you going to do with the car? Just cruise or track it?
I guess you mean my Thunder Gray OZ... You can check my build thread, I would have to make a list of all the little parts/prices as far as I can remember though. So far just the standard stuff: rims/tires, black head/tails/, cf hood/grill/eyelids, vis bumper, vortex generator, various interior cf/gauge pods, stereo upgrade, custom turbo setup and supporting mods... Nothing special...

Merc,
Do you enter it in shows or drive it on daily basis? My plan is to build my yellow oz to just look good but not really to make it faster for racing or anything as have noone to race and cant afford tickets should I just go speeding around ,LOLOL. Really have allready list of what I plan to do and is pretty simple list really.

^ It's my daily driver. A great dd if you ask me. You can pm me so we don't clutter up this thread.
Back to the OP: if you just want looks and no drop, go with 17s or 18s. I felt like the car looked a bit weird with no drop when I first put 17s on it...

Here's mine with 17s
When I was looking for rims I had a hard time choosing in size. Everyone is right about if you get 16s better for autox, 18s are for show and 17s are smack dab in the middle. I wanted to go as big as I could without spending to much money. Most people said not to get 18s because they went through tires a lot.

oh okay. im thinking of getting 17's but the problem is that i seem to only find 17 in rims that come 7.5 wide and a really bad offset. i dont wanna have any problems with my rims so now im moving closer to getting 16's. whats the opinion of 16's jsut look wise? does anyone have pictures of 16's on their car?
