15's or 16's on an EK
i have a 96 hatch lowered or soon to be lowered on H&R sport springs (1.75 front 1.5 rear) now i am going to get the Cwest front once i get the money to paint my car should i get 15's or 16?
was thinking about some rota's like in a polished steel grey. but what size do you guys think will look better for my daily wheels?
for shows i am going to get RH C2's in 17's so i am just saying which would look better and feel better for my daily's 15's or 16's?

16's it will look better with the wheel gap filled up a little more, plus you can upgrade to bigger brakes better.

i took a while to spell that out...i think i pulled a fob and spelled it wrong

Still spelled it wrong.
APPEARANCE!
And for an EK, go for 16's! The front end just looks much better with the wheelwell filled up. An EG has a more "slim" looking front end, so 15's can work.
Besides, a quality set of 205/45 profile tires handle like it's on rails! Just watch out for those potholes. 
(assuming your suspension is dialed in correctly)

My 16" Slips weigh in @ 13lbs/ea.
*Compared to my stock 14" steelies and hubcaps @ 18lbs...it made a good difference in handling*

Re: 15's or 16's on an EK (whitemike1644)
this relates to wheel size, my friend and me were talking about the b20VTEC swap and the brake conversions and brake upgrades. he said that i would have to get 17's to enable me to get the brake upgrades, is thsi true? i personally want 16's.
