Default The Question is 16's or 17's

Ok everyone. I have a white 93' Civic coupe with stock wheels. I am looking at wheels and have found the ones I want, which are Konig Traffiks. Heres a pic of them


Anyways, I am confident I want white but am trying to decide what size I want. Either 17's or 16's. I know most on this forum would say 16's but I want your opinion on it anyways. What are the advantages to having 16's versus 17's and vice versa. Do you think 16's would look too small?

i like 17s... beleive it or not.. when i bought my '92 civic it had 19s... that was alittle to big.. but i think those in 17 would like rather nice on your car... granted its black or a dark color like that.

I like!

It would look pretty bad without me dropping it though right?

Anybody know of any good sites that sell wheels?

Yea but my car is white.

16s are the perfect size for a 93 hatch IMHO.

16's are the largest I would ever put on my Integra or any Honda as a matter of fact.

Can you tell me why?

Is it because of looks or performance?

I would say 16s. When I bought my 17" rims for my CRX I instantly knew that they were too big. And it slows you down. There is some physics behind it I dont know what they are for sure but 16" is the biggest you can go before they start to slow you down.

So all in all, if i put a nice drop on the car and get some 16's it should like and ride tight, right?
