16's or 17's?

[barch88]

Can anyone post pictures of Sonic's with some 16's and some 17's? Not stock wheels, perfable lowered. I'm trying to decide which to get. 17's will fill my lowered wheel well really great but I can get some nice 16's for a bit less.

Black wheels on orange car, blacked out bowties+tint as well, or should I go with regular alloy/silver wheels? Opinions?

 

[sonic007]

Theres alot of cars on here that are orange with black wheels. Just see which you like better.

19's FTW !

I'd love 19's or 18's even but just not in the budget. I'm going with some black 17's. Everyone is saying go Black.

17" is the optimal wheel size for just about any car on the market. great response, light weight, and great handling. any bigger and you'll lose power, lose response, and lose unsprung weight response.

simply put, 17" is the best all-around. cheap tires, great response, and good looks. but to each his own. if you want more get more, if you want cheaper tires and good response then go with a 16". anything more than a 17 on this car and you'll lose response in turns/curves and you WILL lose power and braking. it's been proven on VW gti and gli, and on hondas. and anyone wanting to argue feel free,

Yeah I've decided on 17's. Purchasing on Friday.

Here you go:

Love the spoiler...I'm really getting tired of the basic stock one

go 17" paint them black and the lip of the rim with the same color orange that is on your car. it will look sick.

I've got 16s but if I had extra money I would've went with 17s. Forget 18s too many headaches and not worth it IMO.

As far as color, that is up to you, I do like the black.

I think 16's are fine for such a small car. The wheel arches aren't too huge to necessitate large wheels and tires to stay proportional.

Also 16s is where good rubber choices begin (althrough a bit limited compared to 17s). That said, the price is great.

 

[barch88]

Going with 17
