What size rims should I get?
I really don't want the rims to scrap at all, I will lower my car.. a little bit!!! (only so it looks pretty), I really don't want to "mod" my car in anyway, or anything like that.
I just want some pretty rims.
I also don't want the car to look retarded. lol.

I was thinking 16s, what do you think?
Do you have pics of your Lancer with the Rim size you suggest??

(I have a white 04 Lancer ES, with black tints and ****.. so i'm getting black rims also.. just so you know)

16's are PERFECT!, they look nice and they give you enough meat on the tires for a smooth ride. I have them on my 03. I love them!

Plus 16's look better with the stock height of the car, IMO 17's and up look kinda retarded without a drop.

if you arnt all about performance and not gonna autox your car. a nice 17x7 with 205/40/17 tires would be fine. Can find 17's that arnt to heavy and they look the best imho. If you plan to autox at all. 16's would be good.

I love my 17s. They look a little funny with no drop (working on it) but if you plan to drop your car they'll look great. They're a bit bumpy at times but not bad at all

<<small picture of them in my avatar

Personally I'd go 17's if just for looks. 16's would be ideal for looks/won't hurt performance as much as the 17's. I had 17's and I ditched 'em for stock since my car was feeling like it couldn't rotate the weight. Weird I guess.
