Default Rota Circuit 8 question...

sup guys i've been looking at the rota c8's and i've noticed that the 16's and up look slightly better than the 15's. I just wanted to see if any of u guys thought the same? i've been thinking about getting these rims in bronze. Yes i know its rota not mugen but what can a man do when he's on a budget haha.

I've personally had some 16" on two of my 94' hatchbacks. The cars were red the circuit 8's were bronze i thought it looked good. What tire you going to use. i used nitto neogen's in a 205/40/16 or 45.

Id go with 16's if you dont plan on slamming your car, they are a little wider than 15's, which is great for autocross. 15's seem to tuck a little better when your slamming your car.

I think 16's look great on the Ej/ek chassis.

But 16's on an eg chassis are too big depending on the wheel.

It's a common opinion that 15's go on egs and 16's go on ek's.

But ive seen vice versa on both and they look fine.

F.Y.I. Where's the tech?

yea thats what i thought too bro, i've seen them both in person and the 16's and up look alot better. I'm running stock Si's at the moment (which i love). The only problem i hate with 16's is the rubbing. I've got a ej8 which is a little over 2inchs dropped all around. The fenders in front are some what rolled when i had my Gt3's in 15s so i might need to roll a little more to clear the 16's. Tire size i'm going to run 205/45's. Thx for the input guys really appreciate it.
