Default 17's or 16's for 96 gsr

i was looking into rims and noticed alot of ppl with 17 inch rims had bad results.
i was wondering if 17's are going to slow me down as much as ppl say they do, also i will be upgrading flywheel, will that negate the bigger heavier wheel. i will also be doing full suspension-handeling will that help reduce the rough ride of 17's.

16's

-they look better
-there lighter
-they aren't as ricey

Unless you got a body kit, aluminum spoiler and your car is stock...then go with 16's. But if your a ricer then go with the 17's, just to make yourself happy.

15" blades on mine, 16" C8s on my friends.

IMO 15's are itchin to be bumped up a lil bit, and 17s" are just a lil too much, making 16"s good

though it isn't nearly as noticable difference as I thought it would be.

Bad results?? I have 17's and have had no problems or bad results whatsoever and i still have the stock suspension. i dont feel slower. get a nice lightweight wheel my 17's weigh less then stock 15's. so go for it get 17's

16s are great. You wont have problems with 17s though, and price is around the same. Preference of wheel is what it will come down to.

16's as well....But on sedans, 17's just look so much more fitting. Having owned both, I still say 16's.
