Need Opinions!! Please!!

Ok to start off I have a MM 05 coupe and well I'm rollin on some 17 "VOLT" (yes VOLT not VOLK) "RACING" rims...which in other words are a replica of Axis Mods... here are some pics so you guys can get an idea http://www.axiswheels.com/wheels/mod/mod.html# those are the axis, here are the wanna be axis and with a name like volt i guess wannabe volks too http://superbuytires.com/Volt%20Racing/Type%20753/ anywho my whip was a present so it was a barely used car but it came with those rims what can i do. I am looking into going smaller. 17's to me are kinda big i wanna get a little more dropped as well. So I was thinking of getting in either gunmetal or royal silver some Rota Group N's which are the replica of Mugen's RNR's....but they only come in 15...so what you guys think yes or no? I was thinking some c8's but there starting to get played out just like the slips... and yea Im going ROTA cuz im sorry but at 9 bucks an hour and having to go to school, cant exactly afford mugens or real jdm stuff anywho please guys need your honest opinions here THANKS

rotas are cool, pretty light and cheap. 15"s are the perfect size to my eyes. I didnt bother to click your links but if you like them and the offset is right then go for it. If its an option, get something wider then the stock 6 inches, 15x6.5 or 15x7 would be awesome.

There is a great FAQ about wheel size and how it relates to rolling unsprung weight, you should read it, it might affect your purchase.

I googled it and found Group n's for about 450 in 15x6.5. They list them at 12 lbs which is awesome, go for it dude, you will love the results.

do what you want to do its your car. but for me i would stick with 17s i just ordered mine. i would go 16s at lowest. 15s just look to wierd. you look at them on a car compared to 17s or 18s and the look pops alot more with the bigger wheels. but if you want to go for those rims then go for it. the rims you got now are ok but id sell those and buy 16s or 17s if i were you.
