What size do you go with? 14's, 15's, or thinner tire with 17's or 18's?

Are you going for looks/style? Or lightweight/functionality?
For lightweight functional wheels I would say a 16x8 all around. Any wider and you're going to start defeating the purpose. Put on a 215 or 225/50R-16 tire. For looks and style I would suggest checking out the Flush Wheel Fitment thread. -------------------- 1991 MR2 - T-tops - Crimson Red - Gen3 3SGTE - Lots of money

I'd like to go for both, but I'm more of a function before fashion kind of guy. What would you recommend I go with?

How much are you looking to spend on wheels alone?

And I don't really want to go with 17's. Seems to me like I would have to go with a thinner tire to keep it from running. I'm no where near an expert but thinner tires isn't something I would want correct? Performance wise. This post has been edited by H1gherReflex: Mar 3, 2010 - 12:11 AM -------------------- HONDA

There are Gram Lights on Tirerack on Closeout for $59 per wheel. If I didn't already have a lightweight wheel setup I would have bought them.
