Default What size rims look best on an EK?

I wanna get my girlfriend some rims for Christmas. What do you think looks best? 16"? 17"? I would not mind getting her some Volk GP-S or GT-S or whatever they're called. But the only thing is, that set only comes in 17"+.

17's are to big, go with the 16's with a 205/45/16 tire

not quite, 16s have a poor selection of tires. If function is of any concern, then you have to go 15" or 17" for good tires. I got rid of my 16s for this very reason.

Personally, I have 15", but 17" tend to look a little better. However you are going to have to pay high dollar for a good set of 17s that don't weigh a ton.

I had 17's, 16's will be better. 16's are the best. But I'm actually going to get 15's too.

Like the majority, I say either 15s or 16s.

I would post a picture of mines, but I don't know how

My buddies 00' Coupe has 17" Motegi FF6's which are Volk TE-37 Knock offs, and it looks really good.
