Re: 15 or 16's for silver ex?????

is your car lowered at all?

i am currently rocking 15s and am lowered on Tein Basics.

if i were to buy new rims i'd prolly get 16s tho. they look best imo.

16s would look better, but ride quality will be a bit worse.

Re: 15 or 16's for silver ex?????

i would definitely do 16s, they will look a lot better in that rim. i think that the bronze on silver will look good, not too many people rockin it these days. at least i dont see many people rockin it. post pics when you get your rims.

Re: 15 or 16's for silver ex?????

There was a point that I was thinking about 17s, but I've changed my mind and now plan on 16s. I want a modified look, but I'm kind of past the whole going all out phase.

I would go with the 16" Wheels and Tires...much better lookin ride with the fatter tires, makes it sit nicer on the 16 " wheels...Tire size should be a 205/50/16 tire...
