People here could debate on this all day long.

The majority will say the smaller you go the better performance and probably anything over 15" is more for cosmetic than performance. I guess 15" is the the ideal size where you wont sacrifice too much performance for looks and viceversa.

Here are my preferances.

When I wanted to buy something nice, expensive, somewhat rare. I ordered my black ce28n's in 16x7+42 $2000.00+ after tires and lugnuts.

When I wanted something to spice up my daily driver. Something that wouldint be devistating if it got stolen or f-ed up. I ordered bronze rota slips in 15x7+40 around $800.00 after tires and lugnuts.

Most importantly its all up to you. And what you like.

^woo woo.... I'm going to go w/ 15x7 since they seem to have the widest range of tires and aren't huge so they don't attract too much attention

smallest size possible while fitting over the brakes.


That's why I rolls the 14's for the R compounds and some 15's for the daily with Azenis

It depends, 15's for the strip, 16's for anything that requires extensive handling.
