So at this point in the game I am still looking for rims. I found a nice pair of rims that are 18 in 5spokes. The seem pretty nice and I can get them for 200. I just want to know if 18s are too big or not, so if you guys have pictures of ep3s on 18s feel free to post them. I'm also dropping my car of progress springs soon if that helps at all. Also, any offers on for sale rims are welcome, my mind is always open to options. (Six spoke is the preference and nothing rediculously over priced)
Thanks guys!
Some people do it, and pull it off well. Others have done it, and it looks completely whack. I think alot of it has to do with the wheels you choose, the fitment, the rest of the car, and how low you are. Personally I have always thought 17's seemed just about right for the EP.

Buy them for looks, hate them for life. 18" wheels, especially on a lowered ep, are not only to big, but you will hate the change in ride quality. Save your money and buy some wheels that you really love, rather than what's a good deal. <<<TRUTH

He has 18s and I love them. But it all depends on the wheel
Thank you very much for your true words of wisdom. 18s are too big... I want either 17s or 16s but I saw those and thought who knows.Originally Posted by sleepy ep3
So with that said sleepy, what were your old rims? I know you are getting new ones.
Yup I'm glad I didn't got with the 18s, the look too big for me plus I don't want to have to buy a camber kit (yet) and flare my wheel wells haha.
If the dc5 guys can do it why can't we...
If you're considering 18's I'm assuming you like the lo profile tire look
I think the 17's are the best fit for that
I personally like a slightly beefier looking tire.
I dig 16's
BUT it depends on the wheel
I go back between 17's and 16's
15s = Dinky...c'mon this aint no Miata.
16s = Looks good, perfect all around.
17s = Acceptable, can look super sick when done right.
18s = Whoa your getting off track now...
19s = Oh my lawd...
20s = WTFBBQ, damn you need to get shot. (ok not really but goddamn)
*I think EP3s look best on 17s.
18" should be the farthest you go assuming you can pull it off. Anything bigger looks funny.
17s are the biggest you should go assuming you don't want to run 35 profile tires. i have 16s and i wish i had 17s again. im an idiota
18s that look sick.

Anyways. I'm settling with 17s. Do you need like modifications on getting rotas with racelands?
