Default Pic Request: 17's on EK hatch or White Grids 16 or 17 on EK hatch

Looking for pics of EK hatches with 16" or 17" wheels, preferably white wheels on a white hatch.

I think I'm settled on Rota Grids, but I have a great hookup on some Motegi Traklite 2's.

Problem is that the Traklites are 17's... they weigh LESS than the 16" Grids, so I'm considering them.

PLUS... I bought my hatch used and it has a bodykit. It's not too crazy but still enough to hide bigger wheels in the wheel wells. I'm afraid a 16" is going to look small.. Anyone with WHITE 16's or 17's on a white hatch, please post pics... or anyone with 17's on an EK hatch..

Oh.. this might help... here's a pic of my car back when it had 16" GT3's... I think they look a little small.... probably because the shaved mouldings make the car look taller... plus the bodykit...

I'm thinking either 16" Grids or 17" Traklite2's. Either way the wheels are getting painted PPG white like the body.

That looks great! I've been looking around and it's hard to find an EK that doesn't look awkward on 17's.... but I don't see hardly anybody on here who is different with a bodykit... every just has stock lips.. my cwest bumper and rear kit make the wheel wells look big and empty. I'm afraid a 16 will still look awkward.

I wish Motegi made the traklite2's in a 16. I will probably end up going with white Grids.
