What are your opinions on them?

I know 17inch looks better but the fact that they slow you down so much, and the tires are so expensive doesnt sit well with me.

Also wut size tire should I get?

dont think they're going to slow you down that much. doubt you will be able to tell the difference. they weigh less than stock, so you should be fine with 17's. i have them and i'm fine.

17" tires arent that expensive. fuzions, general exclaim uhp, falken, toyos are all tires that are pretty cheap.

at some point i'm going to sell mine and get torques in 17x8 +35. =)

i like the drag dr-31 better but i think either one would look nice in 16

not much of the rota torque fan but i got 17's and i didnt feel much difference with bigger rims. And plus i think 16's or 15's looks too small on our cars.

16s it is!

Im currently dropped on HFP kit. You guys think that will be low enough? I really am not into the slammed look. It's about a 1" drop. :D

What are the differences? I can't make them out they look so much alike

the rota torques are a half ass replica while the dr31 are almost exact. the difference is in the center the lip and in the spokes.

hfp drop isn't enough to make 16s look good. I have hfp w/17s and it needs another 1/2" drop.

16's are good, plus tires aren't that expensive on it. Anything below 17's look small on our cars because of the egg shape.
