The biggest size I would go for is 16 and only if they are light weight.

The thing is though, let's say I had a choice between a 15 and 16 wheel that looked ugly but light weight, I would go for the 15 light weight wheel because some wheels don't really need to be big.

I'd say people should put whatever the heck the like on their car and not worry about what everyone else's opinion is. Doesn't "bling bling" only refer to chrome rims though?

Actually bling bling kinda means something that will catch attention now. It evolved as a word, but at least people don't use it as freely as "rice."

I always thought of it as chrome too.

Kanji, remember that discussion we had at the meet about opinions?!

I had no clue

Yep, there was definitely a lot to talk about. That sun must have done something to my short term memory though, cause I'm having a hard time remembering some of it. I should have taken sun screen or something cause my face was the same color as a tomato when I got home.

It all depends on wheel weight. I suppose I'd put 18's on if they weighed 12 lbs and were cheap enough.

True, but then you would have to deal with added rotational mass despite the lower weight (you wouldnt take much of a hit in terms of acceleration, but it would be a loss nontheless.) I wouldnt mind having larger size rims for just daily driving (16's are probably the largest I'd go ), but for race purposes, if it was possible to fit 13's over my brakes, I would do it.
