i guess im just more into the jdm scene then a lot of you guys even though theyre like 1,500 dollars theyre worth every penny, the 15inch 4x100's are just 8 pounds each, pure sex.

it's not that everyone isn't into the jdm scene, it's the fact that your paying an arm and a leg to get a part that isn't all that different than their counterparts and still serves the same purpose. plus, the slipstreams in 15" are 11.9 lbs. each, i don't really need 8 lb. wheels, my car isn't that fast to really make a difference in three lbs.

I'd say get 16" slips if you're set on getting them. Going from the 17's you have now to 15" slips is going to be a big difference. Plus I personally don't like the 15" slips that much because I think they look too small. The ride comfort between the 15's and 16's really isn't going to be that much different. A lot of people get 16's for looks and comfort over 17's.

i say go for 16's. i had 16's on my car before i just got my 17" rims. i had them on a 205/50r16 tire. it was a bit better ride than the 17's. but remember we drive civics, not cadillac's

that's not really what i meant, i meant that the 16's might be a little too firm for my taste
