I'm trying to figure out which wheel size looks better on the ep. 16's or 17's. I'm personally a fan of 17's on regular cars, but this is my first hatch and i know smaller sizes look better. Can You post some pics of your ep with either of the two sizes? much appreciated :dance:

17's or 16s look best. If your rim has a big lip, they tend to look a size smaller. Just get a nice meaty tire and a nice drop and either size will look great. There is a thread dedicated to just rim photos, look through there to see what you like.

ive always liked 17 on the ep.. its a bigger hatch then its predecessor. Ek and eg all looked better with 16s IMO.

By far 17's.. there's a reason the Type-R came with them.

the visual design of the car was meant to have 17 inch wheels with it. proportion of wheel to tire (in stock OD) with the size of the fender flat all works together. I like my 16" wheels, i think they look good, but the 50 series sidewall does leave a bit to be desired...17s definitely look the best

17 for looks, otherwise I'd go for 16.
