Dark Bronze oWnZ!!
Finally.. no more "hey, look at the Si!" for me
BTW, they're 17" 'dark bronze' Rota SubZero's wrapped in 205/40 Falken rubber bands. Weight of the Si wheel with stock tires was 35.5lbs, weight of the Rota w/ tire.. 35.5lbs, light weight oWNz

Re: Dark Bronze oWnZ!! (Spade)
The rims were actually part of a trade, so I didn't have choice on rim size. I'd always wanted either 15 or 16" Rota's, the fact that I got 17's and they weight the same as a set of Si stocks is just cherry on top.. yea I coulda had a lighter 16", but I'll take what I get.

A 16 doesn't look like a 17....
Plus, putting that much power down.... 17's are more appealing IMHO.... 16's are like a poor man's 17's... heh heh heh

Is it just me or did that not make any sense?
j/k

But I've always found 16's to look like something's not quite right... they always look 'OK'... but put on a 17 of the same style and things change in the car's look....
If I were to put on 16's, it would be a compromise... a wheel that is just about the same circumference as a 17, but doesn't quite have the look.....

17s are ok...FOR SHOW!!!!!!!
If U are gonna make a show car, then big wheels are more bling, but if you wanna be a street/road course car, then you should have a smaller wheel I think. I have an EG, and I got 16s on it, and I want some 15s cause my car is a 4x4! It may tuck, but my car still sits higher than everyone else around me. I got 16s cause I think all of the 16" Rota wheels look more closer to the real wheels than the 15" do. Peace...

As for the tails, no thanks.. I like my tails, a little originality in a very unoriginal world (oh wow, is that a hybrid hatchback.... )
As for the rims, I really don't care how high/low the car sits. I prefer function personally. 4" drops may look ok, but it doesn't help when all that negative camber has you riding on a inch of rubber. There's a reason why ITR's ride they way they do
