Do you or Dont you like your 17's

Ive read a lot recently about people saying they regret their 17" wheels and advising people to get either 15" or 16". I just bought some 17" enkeis and havnt had a chance to put em on yet.

Im wondering for people who have or had 17" wheels, do you like them? if not why?

Im just curious as to peoples opinions.

I like my 17s when they're on. I might go for 16s in the future though. I don't regret having them at all though.

I like my 17s... They look really good in my opinion. I do regret it sometimes, because they are a bit heavier than 15s and 16s but i would never change them.

I'm lowered on Tein S-Techs and I love my Enkei RS-7s 17s. I'm also running a 215/40 tire and it looks sweet lowered.

well, haha. Nobody has really said they regret them except the fact that they are heavier and not as "racer" friendly.

I went with 17x7 enkei or52's because I love the look of 17's. plus you get some decent tire sidewall still.

more opinions are welcome.

I like my 17's when they are on(spring/summer/fall). Personally I think 18's are alittle big for our car but it's what you like.
