I suggest you get 17's instead. 15's are too small especially for an EP3, in my opinion.

Check the Appearance/Cosmetic forum for pictures.

not true. 17's look huge on an ep3 unless you have a larger rotor setup.

"17's arent all that bad, thats what I have I really think though that 16" looks the best on our ep's but the tire selection pales in comparison to the 15 and 17" choices

I think 16's would be best overall for a nice equilibrium of looks and performance

I think 16" and 17" wheels can look good, it depends on the tire size and the stance. They can make or break the look. It doesnt hurt to have a nice brake kit to fill the gap also

I think 15s are too small for the EP. I currently have Nippon 16x7 225/45 BFG KDW2 along with H&R 2". 17s will be going on this Spring.

I don't think you should ever go smaller than the stock wheel size. Stay the same or plus 1.
