[QUOTE="ichiwan2, post: 55616, member: 153"] It will not look noticeably different if you move from 14" to 15". IMHO i think the 16" is the max u should go. You get just enough rubber between the road and the rim. Anything more might lead to a harder ride -more wear and tear on bushes, absorbers, steering etc, more prone to bent rim syndrome. Furthermore, you might find your acceleration will be reduced. I think tyre prices start to go up the bigger the rims. Dunno tyre prices for 16". Mine are 15" staggered. 195/50 Front; 195/55 Rear, Goodyear F1 GS-D3 - RM225 and RM250, respectively. Keep us informed on your final choice. Cheers! [/QUOTE]
