Default what size wheels for the hatch???

Should I get 15's or 16's on my 97 hatch, it's a CX? I'm dropping it on skunk2 coilovers and when i do get a motor it will prolly be a GSR, keep in mind that i will be racing on these wheels

16" y0! VERY old pics......wheels are long gone and the car has been sitting for the past 6 months w/o moving......
i think 96+ hatches look best on 16" wheels......

For you're planned application of the wheels I'd go with 15s!

I say for 92-95 hatches go with 15's and azenis. They fill up the wheel wells nice. If you have a 96-00 hatch go with 16s. They look bigger and i think 15s look a tad too small on them.

I guess I am still old school. I still just love Hatches with the 17 inch Racing Hart C2 Evo's or 17 inch Bronze or Gunmetal Te-37's. Yes I know they add weight but those 2 styles of rims look better bigger.

I love 17s, but its all about the silver! I'm going to put some nice 17" rims on my Hatchy. (See my avatar) Has anyone had good / bad luck with Axis WheelMesh Lite 2s? They look like the Racing Harts, much a bit cheaper.
