I think I like the 17s better. 18s looks like i'm almost 4x4ing it, but if the car was slammed 18s would be better.

For handling purposes I should probably get 17s though....

Nice photoshopping.

I'd have to go with 17's. 18's only if you have nice aero and super low height.

From your chops the 16s look good, but in real life I think the 17s would look a big better than the 16s since there's less sidewall and your tires don't look as much like balloons... Really depends on the width of your wheels and offset too... I have 16s... offsets are so horrible the tires look like balloons sadly...

i'm going to stick with the 8inch width and 225 width tires and keep the sidewalls to 45 for 17s and 40 for 18s. looks like i'll do the 17s

17's its the new standard for S13's 5 years ago it would have been 16's.

seriously.

after you go 17s you never go back (cept for ghetto cheap 17/15 drift stagger)

15s seem so mini size after that

clean photochop btw, at first i was like look at that dummy he posted the same pic three times! haha JOKES ON ME!

To my taste it's:
s13 - 16's or 17's
s14 - 17's or 18's

Bigger than that don't appeal to me, and would a be a tough argument to make in terms of any functional value. But then again, para los gustos se hicieron los colores...

My vote goes for the 16's or 17's....kinda leaning to the 17's but it depends on actuall tire size.

if your ever goign to do aero, i suggest an 18 and wider (So it flows well with sideskirts, etc), but if you are enver going to do aero, id say 17x9 +20 all around
