Reply With QuoteId go with 16s, either slips or subzeros would look great. Also go with gunmetal :D
having trouble deciding on what wheels to put on my stock silver ep. I want to go with either the rota slipstreams (only availiable in 15,16") in black or gunmeatal (what do you guys think) Or with the rota subzero's (17") in gunmeatal/black? I'm having trouble deciding between the two, because i dont plan on lowing my car for a quite a while, and i'm not sure if the 17's or the 16's would look better on my unlowered car. It seems that big wheels tend to emphasize tire to fender gap. or am i wrong? Also, if i go with the 17's i'm not sure if the wheel/tire combo will be heavier than stock and would be rougher than the 16's and cause worse handleing. The reason i'm stuck on this is because i'm not sure which would be an overall better decision.
16' offers : good ride, cheaper! , not so noticible fender gap, better handling
17' offers: nice looks, joining the 17" club (svt focus, CTR, Sentra spec V)
Any info, opinions, and rants welcome.

As a fellow silver EP owner, I second the 16s in gunmetal recommendation.
ETA on Slips on the ephatchTwiddler is Wednesday night. Then you can preview all the colors and both sizes.

get the slips 16" in gunmetal.
how much are you getting them for?
where are you getting them from?
you're not going to put them on now are you?
why is the sky blue?
why does mommy kiss the mailman ever morning?
;)
I would go with the 17's. I'm thinking about getting the O.Z. superleggeras in the hyper grey finish 17 inch.
Since you're stayin' w/ the stock suspension, you're better off going with the 16's. I'd recommend the Gunmetal if your car's Black or Silver.
definatly go w/ the 16's or if your really interested in road racing stick with 15's and hook up some sticky tires! Im going with the 16 in. slips in black for my white one.:D
anyone checked out Shaun Hillers new Ep. its lookin pretty phat. cant wait for updated pics.

If you know you're going to lower your car, then wait till then if you want the rims. 16's look good, if you go for what fishboy did. He went with a 205/45 series tire. It looks sooooooooooo much better than the bigger series tires I've seen with 16" rims. 17's are the biggest I'd go, they look great, but if you are a performance freak/enthusiast, then don't go any more than 16" After that it's hard to find a light rim that won't bend or that isn't too expensive. I'm still trying to figure out what I want...16's or 17's. If I go 16's it's going to be a light rim, like rota circuit 8, or something along that line, that is affordable
nice choices... I'm actually going with 17" rota subzero's in black myself :o
Im running Nippon Racing Evoluzions on my 94 coupe in the powder coat white. There 17's and wheigh only 14 lbs.
I just picked-up some 17" Velox GP-5's today... they're under 13 pounds and look bitchen!
You mean PG-5 right?Originally posted by Moose

They are sweet. 360 a rim, damn, don't get those stolen!
These are exactly it... thanks for giving us a preview; I'll be showing the car later on when I get them put on. I'm still awaiting a big-name coilover kit (maybe Tein or Eibach), but I may put on some Neuspeed race springs in the interim. Any suggestions?
Also, these wheels are 17X7's and I'm putting on 215/40/17 wheels, so a drop of beyond 2.5 may not yield any rubbing, etc.
