nope I think small rims look gay. I don't care if they help acceleration... The only time small rims look good to me is on a Civic hatch.
Like my friend Marc's black hatch...I'll post a pic.

Personally, I like everything from a 15 to a 19. It just depends on the purpose of the car. I like a little show, with a little more go, that is why I stick with 17's. Big enough for show, but not overly huge for go.

Unless you have some brakes to fill the void, putting anything over 16" looks silly. Even on my car, my 17s are too big for my brakes... "Hey, look at my rims with little little brakes..."

Big rims with with thin spokes and little drum brakes looks silly.

As you can tell we arent big fans of the bling rims. Me personall, I hate Konig rims. Anything over 16" rims in this forum is hard to get people to like. Somehow I was accepted with my 17's

How wide are they, do you have any problems w/them rubbing.

Werd.

That's why I bought bigger aftermarket ones (kept the stock cailpers)
My EX came with 4 discs.... no loser drums.

They're 17x7. No rub ever.

Even with stock EX brakes, the brakes are way too small for a 17" rim. Now if you had a set of 12" brakes under there, it'd be a different story...

How can brakes be too small for rims?
