How do you all feel about 17" Wheels on EK?

Im real interested in buying Volk GTU's for my ek hatch... But i have always been very fond of 15 and 16" wheels...

What are your guys oppinions on 17" on a hatch...
(Any pictures of any 17" wheel on a hatch would be appreciated)

I rock the 15" sw's now days and a entirly new style but 3 years ago when i had my 17's., I liked them but I only liked them cause I was tuckin them hardcore. SO I say if your gonna do it up, Slam it as well. Here is what it looked like at daily driving height with 17's.

on this board, if you have 17's and they aren't JDM wheels, then its wack...

i think they look fine on hondas, but the ride quality does suck

IMO I don't have a problem with 17's but I think they are a tad too big for hondas.

Re: (j_ambrose)

i had shitty 17's on my DA integra a year or two ago and it looked like ***.

also, you can make it look good on 17's, but i would rather just stick with 15s or 16s and not have to deal with worrying about bending them.

17's can work, but it just depends on the rims IMO

There aren't many *real* dished lip wheels that'll fit on Hondas.

to 17's on hatches.

17's MIGHT work on coupes depending which wheel, but overall i'd stick to 16s
