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.

erm...go with the 15's. theyre lighter, you'll have better ride comfort, and they look better IMO.

RE: thinking of new wheels....
What are your specs? What year/model? How high/low is your ride? How high/low do you plan to stay? What is your budget? Do you need "ultimate" handling? Do you plan to run these exclusively, or occasionally swap them out for your existing 17s or other rims/tires?...etc.
16s can be made to ride ok with the right tires and suspension. 15s will generally ridea little better still. 15" rims and tires tend to cost less, so you'll save money on your initial purchase and on every tire purchase thereafter. Take that money and invest it so you're not scraping by when you're older. Inflation can be a real *%#@$!

and when you spare up enoughcash to buy one part, i would have already bought 5 parts from somewhere else.
j/k
and i've decided on 15's, now i'm deciding on the tire brand, probably michelin or g forces or something that will last a while.
