16s look nicer but ride harsher.

15's ride better and your butt and back will thank you.
looks good on a lowered car as well.

I'd say go with 15's and get the yoko es100's. Great tires.

i have 14's, 15's, and two sets of 16's... go 15 if you can.

How low is the car? If its on stock ride height or just a small amount lowered I'd say go for the 16's. If its lowered 2 in. or more, I'd say go for the 15's.

I have a strange attachement to the 15's, don't know why, but I love the way they look opposed to the 16.

16's i have them and they are just barely bigger then 15's cause most 15's have 195/205-50 and i have 45 so i can slam my ride y0! j/p and if you have an Si 16's look much better then 15's imo

also with the right suspension the ride isnt any harsher at all.

Get 15's for Performance, tire selection, cheaper tires/rim

Get 16's for looks

I had 15" gsr blades on my Turbo teg, and recently changed to 16" Volk te37's

I shed some weight from the stockers, but tire selction is not what it used to be, I had azenis on the blades, and now I have es100's on the Volks.

I have the oem kit, so from certain angles the 15's looked a little small at times. I opted for a badass wheel, that is still only 11 lbs, and it is much more proportionized for the cosmetics on my car. Overall im happy with my change

get 16's. 15's look good on eg's only. Too much tire for the biger wheel opening on other cars.
