    16" or 17" rims

    I am thinking about getting Advan RGs. For an all motor car, do you think 17" will be too big. The price is about the same for both.

    If you do a search, you'll see that most people are going with 17's. I personally like the look of a 50 series tire on a 16. Buy what ever makes you happiest.

    I like the look of 16s myself

    Those Advans are bad-ass, I wish I could afford them! :(

    you mean the RG's. Yeah I like that look too. If you're willing to go with a heavier wheel, the N1 wheels from Black racing are similar.

    I'm thinking about 16's now. I think 17's are too big, not to mention, you won't have that much tire for bumps and crappy roads. Not to mention the 16's have a less rotational mass, and weigh less, so I'd get the 16's

    I'll be going with 16's, strictly for performance reasons. (Weight, tires, etc..)

    I got some fairly light 17s running on 45 series tires and think that is the way to go (CTR runs on 17s).

    I know the 16s are going to be lighter but the CTR has 17s so that is why i am thinking about 17s too.
