Default Give me your opinion

I need some opinions. I need to replace the rims on my car and I have a big choice to make. I eventually want to sell my car but I don't know how long it will take. I drive over 100 miles a day for work;doI get the 16's with 45 series for the comfort, or do I get the 17's w/40 series for the look(100 dollars more, but look way cooler). Keep in mined I'm going to sell the car but it could take a while???? Sorry no links.

without knowing what year your car is, I'd still say that smaller wheels will make the car easier to sell to the general public.

yeah, if you're at all concerned about resale value, don't put 17s on the car. Even 16s are pushing it.

Resale value??? All you need to do is take off the 17's and put on the steelies and sell therims seperatly...

word, just put some stock wheels on there, but if your choosing between 16's and 17's then do the 16's

Well, I don't have steel, I have 17's now! The rims I buy will go with the car. I guess I'll go with the 16's. Steelies would be great but I want to sell the car for as much as possible, steelies aren't very appealing. Thanks guys

Go with 14's. They cost the least and are OEM size.

A car with no mods is worth more than a car with mods... you've got a much wider group of buyers to apeal to with a stock car. So if your argument is for resale value, I'd just search around ebay and craigslist to find some OEM honda or acura wheels
