Not a fan of 5th gens... but anything bigger than a 15" on a 4th gen looks stupid

How so? I'd understand if the car wasn't lowered, but I think 17's would be my limit, maybe 18's just for show

not quite...thats def. just an opinion and not fact...there are many beautiful 4th gens with 16s, 17s....to stay that small, only a 15", it has to be a specific wheel...I dont think many 15s look good on 4th gens, but there are some that are amazing..

I kept the stock size 16's on my car and the ride is so much better. I did have some 17's at one time with the lower profile and the ride was terrible compared to the meaty 16's i have now. The only time I had put 15's was on some steelies with Bf drag radials. If you like the 15's go for it , but I personally wouldnt go smaller than the oem size 16's. Im rocking some TE-37's

Smaller, lighter, wider the wheel, the better the performance.

Yea someones red BB6 here has 15" with racing tires. Looks awesome. I just bought some aftermarket Enkei's and stuck with 16. I like the stock size and it looks better when lowered.

I run 15x7s with Hoosier race tires (soon to be 15x8s, though!).
