Dark Bronze oWnZ!!
Finally.. no more "hey, look at the Si!" for me
BTW, they're 17" 'dark bronze' Rota SubZero's wrapped in 205/40 Falken rubber bands. Weight of the Si wheel with stock tires was 35.5lbs, weight of the Rota w/ tire.. 35.5lbs, light weight oWNz

Re: Dark Bronze oWnZ!! (Spade)
The rims were actually part of a trade, so I didn't have choice on rim size. I'd always wanted either 15 or 16" Rota's, the fact that I got 17's and they weight the same as a set of Si stocks is just cherry on top.. yea I coulda had a lighter 16", but I'll take what I get.

A 16 doesn't look like a 17....
Plus, putting that much power down.... 17's are more appealing IMHO.... 16's are like a poor man's 17's... heh heh heh

Is it just me or did that not make any sense?

But I've always found 16's to look like something's not quite right... they always look 'OK'... but put on a 17 of the same style and things change in the car's look....
If I were to put on 16's, it would be a compromise... a wheel that is just about the same circumference as a 17, but doesn't quite have the look.....

17s are ok...FOR SHOW!!!!!!!
If U are gonna make a show car, then big wheels are more bling, but if you wanna be a street/road course car, then you should have a smaller wheel I think. I have an EG, and I got 16s on it, and I want some 15s cause my car is a 4x4! It may tuck, but my car still sits higher than everyone else around me. I got 16s cause I think all of the 16" Rota wheels look more closer to the real wheels than the 15" do. Peace...

Re: 17s are ok...FOR SHOW!!!!!!! (DjGuamstyle)
As for the tails, no thanks.. I like my tails, a little originality in a very unoriginal world (oh wow, is that a hybrid hatchback.... )
As for the rims, I really don't care how high/low the car sits. I prefer function personally. 4" drops may look ok, but it doesn't help when all that negative camber has you riding on a inch of rubber. There's a reason why ITR's ride they way they do
