Default would 17" be too big?

I have a 94' Ls Integra, want to put new rims on. Looking at the Enkei CDR9 17", what do you all think of these rims, are they going to be too big for my car.

i dont think he means you cannot go fast with 17's --- youll just be faster with 16's. perhaps with 16's (or 15's my choice) he would run a 13.8 or something.

17's??? Hell I like my 18's.....sure they might slow me down a little, but the extra traction is worth it.

I was going to trade my 17's with some stock 15's rims but I just love my 17's too much.

17's makes the car look clean, but like everyone said, if you want performance, and you want your car to look jdm'ish...then go 15 or 16's. But if your in to getting the girls w/ a clean *** car...then go for some 17's w/ a nice polished lip to make it go "bling bling!!!" I've had 14's,15, 16, and 17...on my car looked the cleanest on 17's. 15's are just tooo small!!!!

Get some 17" Rotas or something of that nature. I have 17" Konigs and I hate them. Yeah, they look good and everything but the ride sucks. They slow me down and because of the width of the rim, I fell every little bump in the road. I will soon be trading for some 16s.
