Default Wheel size suggestions

I have 14's now (stock) and was wondering if I got rims what would be a good size to go to; 15's or 16's. I heard 17's are a little on the large side if you want performance. Any suggestions would be cool.

I like 16's because they'll look good, give you some good handling, and you'll still get a decent ride from them.

IMO, once you get to 17's and up, your comfort level will start to suffer a lot.

In my opinion 16's are perfect sense your looking for performance. Then wrap the 16's in a nice tire and bam your rollin clean.

While we're on the subject, how do you think these would look on a white '98. I like them.

16 seems to be a good size... that's what i'm getting for my 03. I've been told that for driving performance that it's the way to go... and to get sticky tires..... 17 will be a rougher ride... just what I have heard.

16s are the perfect size for daily driving and still having style.

Big T, they'll look good.

16s are good, but for straight business, some light 15s are the way to go... think Spoon.
