IMO...
15" = pure performance
16" = performance/appearance
17" = don't get me started.

my 'ek9' w/ 16's and 205/45 tires.

Who cares what everyone else prefers. What do you prefer? Do you want to look good or dont you? Is the car for performance or isnt it? You decide. Its your car and you know it better than the rest of us

He's asking us if we prefer performance or looks. I'll tailor my wheels to my own setup and so should he. If he had to ask performance or looks obviously he's not interested in performace. Whats the point of performance wheels if he has no performance? whats the point of putting wheels on for looks when your cars a piece of junk? My point is he needs to look at his own car and figure it out himself. If he's looking for any help here then he should atleast provide plans of what he wants to do to his car in the future.

hehe 13's are good for autocross. 16 is the biggest i would go. If it is a daily driver go with the 16s.

hey guys,
thankz for your few replies.
think i gonna buy the 15'' because of "performance" - also lower my car a few more cm's because of the "good looking stuff" :D

btw: anyone knows where i can buy a set of WEDS?
tnx

Imo if your going for performance and you have more then 250 hp then 16s but if your running stock motor with intake header exhaust on a civic or teg or something then 15's will do well. All in all 15's to me is the best for performance/comfortability/reliablity/but looks is not to great.
