2nd Opinion on Some Rims?

I know this is cheesy and I should really pick what I like, but I just wanted to get some feedback on possible rim choices. I am planning to go from my stock 15" Acura EL rims to a 16" rim. I need another wheel set for winter use, so I was thinking of using my OEM rims for winter use because the additional cost over steel wheels was not much.

Middle is OEM 15" Acura EL rim. Top is Motegi MR12 scaled to look like 16" although it is not accurate. Bottom is the same but for MR15 rim. I'm leaning towards the MR15 rim. I know it looks the same, but I really like the multi spoke look for my car.

Let me know what you think? Thanks for the help guys!

i guess you like the more suttle approach to your car maybe, so youre going for a smaller rim. if i were you, since you have a 4 door then go with 17's or 18's but no bigger no smaller. So just save some more cash for all of that

Less spokes, or larger wheels. 15's and 16's don't look good with so many spokes. Just MHO though.

i say drop it 1st, since you already have rims, then get 17s or 18s once you save up enough

I guess I want to get 16" since I want to maintain ride comfort and more "normal" look, rather then go all out and get large 17" or 18".
