go with 17'' for looks but 16" or 15" for speed and handling. i put 17" on my teg and lost a lil bit of speed and gas mpgs.

dude seriously, thats a pretty stupid question. Its like saying. Which part would give me more horsepower. Its really up to you. If you like the look fo the 16s then get the 16s, but what if everyone one here said get 18s and you didnt like them? i doubt you would go out and get 18s. The bigger size wheel you get the better handleing because you have less rubber to bend. But you also get heavier, loose mpg, and get more expensive. I have 16" Rota Slipstreems, i am very happy with them.

Not necessarily. There's a reason why most track-bound Integras wear 15's even when there are forged 17's that sometimes weigh less.

i have 18x8 Tenzo Shu knockoff's on my 99 gs-r with 35 series low pro tires. they look awesome and fill out the wheel well nicely. but not all 18" rims look good, i've seen some fugly 18's that look too huge on the teg. the Tenzo Shu's don't look quite as big cuz of the lip they have, but still fill out nicely.

i'm planning on downgrading to a 15 or 16 tho, cuz i'm going to go all performance when i put my new tranny and clutch in and build my engine. 18's are just too slow! and the 35 series tires are annoying, theres almost no tire there to absorb some shock so its pretty bumpy.
