Wheel size question

Hey guys,

I got a 00' EX and I was wondering if I should go up to a 15'' or a 16'', I plan on lowering the car 1.6'' on both the front and rear and I want a clean look. My friend said that you wouldn't notice a difference on the 15's and that I should go with the 16's, but I think the 16's might be too big, and with the drop, I was feeling maybe I should stick with the 14's. I don't want my car to look slammed. I am feeling safer with the 15's, but I was wondering if you guys had 15's/16's on your 6th gens I'd love to see how it looks before I buy the wheels.

Cheers

Re: Wheel size question

i would stick with 14s for the best ride on a drop, but 15s will look better... and 1.6 inch is pretty low, youll prolly have almost no gap.

Re: Wheel size question

15s are a nice size. Anything bigger, IMO, seems to overpower the car and make it look like it is running on wheels that are way too big.
