i have 17's on mine right now and they look pretty sweet to me but if i had to get another set, i'd go with 16's. I like the look of slightly bigger rims but like the handling too so it's a midpoint.

there is not even a noticable difference between the weight on them all its prob a pound difference between the 15 and the 17 your not gonna be faster with 15 then the 16 thats all BS its all a prefference on what you think looks better me personally 15 are retarded 16 are decent with good set of tires and 17 are perfectly fine so dont believe the hype that youll be faster or handleing will be better its all prefrence youll notice on an 18" bit handleing is all about suspention not so much wheels but very little

I like 16s but either 16 or 15 are fine.

i couldnt disagree with you more... so according to you lets just throw out physics...
in fact go here: http://www.wheelweights.net/
look up same make of wheels and look up different sizes and their weights:
example:
Volk TE37 15x8 11.5lbs
Volk TE37 17x8 16.3lbs
Racing Hart CP-035 15x7.5 9.7lbs
Racing Hart CP-035 17x7.5 13lbs
OZ Superleggera 15x7 11.5lbs
OZ Superleggera 17x7 15.2lbs
you might be thinking that its only a couple of pounds of difference (5-7lbs) wont make a huge difference right?? wrong...
simple as that... you have to realize unsprung weight is alot different compared to sprung weight.
im not going to get into that but search and you'll find info... google is your friend.
also look into moment of inertia while you're at it... basically what dc2GS-R said in his posts.

16's on my Honda....
15's on my Acura....
personally I dont like the ride comfort on 16's in a lowered vehicle. Feels like i'm driving a 4x4 truck on a dirt road at times when hitting bumps and bruises on the streets.
15's to me dont fare much better on a lowered car neither comfort wise.
for style, go with 16's, and then 15's for practicality. its all really subjective to be honest.
for me, i like the blades, nothing sets off womens eyes then a nice set of reflective in the sun chrome GS-R blades from my experience 8)

and 17's? unless and ONLY if you have a body kit then definately this can be rocked. 17's on stock height or even lowered just looks hideous. 17's is definately pure cosmetic for the individual's teg. not my cup of tee.
and this may sound like beating a Dead Horse but probably is beating a Dead Horse, but 17's to me is just
screaming RiCeR!!!!!!! :lol:
