You might be able to find those cheaper and as to if their the best fir all depends how much your car is lowered.

remember ebay vendors probably don't balance the wheels, make sure they do.....

Remember: "Cheaper is not always better, and you get what you pay for." Are the Ebay wheels factory seconds? Do they have defects in the finish? What happens if you need a wheel or tire replaced under warranty?

RSF2s are too open of a wheel to go that small... they'll look tiny. I'd go 17's with those. Its tricky to find a set of small wheels that look good because it there's too much "airspace" then they tend to look odd. It takes just the right balance of rim and empty ness to make them work. Find something with solid spokes rather than split if you plan on going small... it helps make them look larger.

thats a good point, well i like enkei wheels, which one would you suggest in 15 or 16? what about the rs5? that was my second choice.

thanks

Depends on how you think bigger is better. 15s are good for performance & looks. 16s are the compromise between looks and performance. 17s is mostly looks unless the rim is forged then like 16s, it's a compromise.

And how much wheel gap a car will not have is not based on wheel size more than tire size.
