Default Deciding between 15" and 16" rims

Hey guys, I came across this picture and I think these rims are 15" but I'm not sure. I'm looking for opinions or if anyone had anymore info about this car. Thanks!

More than likely the standard "duckbill" spoiler ->



To the OP, those rims look hideous. :}

That 1st pic look to be 16" wheels imo.

The difference is in both weight and handling. It is a roven fact that a 15" wheel/tire combination will give the best results on the street on any EF chassis. The 15" are light, and the tires have enough profile to absorb imprfections in the road.

Plus sizing up to 16", then 17" you add more weight, plus the sidewall are tougher, but thinner and don't take bumps as well rsulting in a lower G rating in cornering

16 is too big. I have 16" TE37 reps on my ef hatch and they just look kinda silly. And my god are they heavy... Go 15's.
