Default New wheels

I have a 2000 Si and i want some new wheels for summer. I was going to get 17's but i think 16's would look cleaner and it wouldn't be as heavy,a nd my brakes wouldn't look so small! I was thinking probab;y rota's (i know everyone has them) or somehting along those lines, and running a 205/40 tire!

Anyone got any pics of EM1's, Ej's, or ek's with 16's and 40/45 series tires? Any wheel will surfice, i just wanna see how htey look in porprtion to the car!

Go with the 16's, I've had 16's and 17's and 16's look 100x better.

i don't get why people say 17's are way too big, but there was an Si posted a bit ago with some volks on there and everyone was jocking it. majority of volk wheels are 17's...

17's look fine to if done right. but the ride comfort is given up, i can vouch for that myslef

i was thinking 16" silver c8's cause i got kind of a silver/blue theme going, but i did see some gold w/polished lip c8's that were NICE! And the silver will go good with my dohc vtec stickers i am putting back on!

16 will definitely ride smoother than 17's.
