I've been saving for wheels. i know i want bronze. but i don't know which style or size look the best on my hatch. i have a 1991 STD hatch. on KYB adjustables and megan coilovers.

what do you guys think?

 

What do you plan on doing with your car? Auto crossing? Go with 14's, lots of sticky tires and effectively (with proper tire selection) betters gearing for short tight tracks.

Roadcourse and street? go with 15's, plenty of tire selection, won't break the bank and looks proper on your bodystyle and you still have enough sidewall to not rattle your brains out.

16's have a tendency to give an EF chassis a lifted look even while being lowered.

 

first i bought 15's but wasnt happy
IMO 16's look better on my car
but then again just my .02

i'm going for roadcourse and street. lots of suspension and turning planned for my car!

 

I'd go with 15's. The guys above with 16's it does look good, and suits his car, but(and no offense) if you look at the side shot, his kit has a good amount of clearance from the ground, when most kits close that gap. If he was on 15's, he'd look a lot lower, but probably also damage his (i'm guessing expensive) paint and kit. So it works for him.

 

I roadrace my car often and i use 15inch wheels

 

15's the lighter the better. 15x7 TE-37's 9.2lbs. FTW!

 

TE-37 or SSR Type C the best!

 

get the bronze Jmags

Yeah Rotas FTL!

 

DONK STYLE. the bigger, the better.

 

get the bronze konig rewinds with 0 offset that would look prety old school and badass

 

You can't **** with 15" TE-37s.

honestly, whats wrong with knockoffs? the price is right, and they dont look all that different to pay 3-5 times the amount.

 

well the kid said he has money saved up, i didnt know if he had 1700 to drop on wheels and tires

 

http://www.edgeracing.com Flik Fuel,Bronze with polished lip

Go 15's, they will give better handling over any other size:

The suspension is only Eibach Pro Kit with Bilstein shocks
Pro Kit only gives a mild drop.
Shocks help with the handleing and being around Northern NJ/ NYC area
the roads are from HELL

 

I just got 13s for autocross, but I like the 15s for daily driving.
Shown are Konig greenlights.

 

It's not really the rim size that matters so much with gearing, but the overall wheel size.

 

I rock 15's(works with the budget), but for pure looks. i would say 16's look cleaner, which is why i voted for 16's

 

Trust me you want 15's, your not going to like 16's if you autox or roadrace.
