Default Got a question about wheels for the 2002 EP3...need pics

ok, so i am going to get new wheels b/c the wheels on my car are ugly...to say the least, and i am going to get new ones only the car is so big that small wheels look funny...so the question is 16 or 17 inch wheels? The car is lowered. If anyone has pics of 17's or 16's on an ep that would be a great help.

i disagree about the small wheels, but if i had to choose between 16 and 17s, go with the 17.

there are more tire options in 17"

True

Go wide too. Having more road coverage gives you a handling advantage with road racing (if that is your cup of tea)

I've got the Factory Performance wheels on my '04, they're 17" if that helps.

One Sweet looking EP3. I've only seen a few like these. Can't wait until I get mine lowered and throw my wheels on.

Damn it, why all of a sudden everyone's getting 5zigen FN01R-C for their EP3s. I just got mine 17s black with Toyo Proxes 4. Thank god it's flat black. Hope, not many has this color. Pictures, coming soon! Suspensions' being a bitch to put on otherwise I would be able to post the pictures by now. Sorry for the delay.

I wasn't really looking at 5Zigen at the time w/c was in December when I got them. A friend highly recommended them.

I was about to get Rota Slips and call it a day.

I notice some cracking on two of the spokes. I'll have to have those checked. I may be looking into some new wheels soon.

Maybe HFP ones (too heavy at 21lbs) or 5Zigen Pro Racer GN+
