Yeah dude. 17's and a drop would look really good! That's what I plan on doing soon. Since you have an OZ Rally you got 15's on there right now. I'm just gonna guess that if you were to put 16's on there that you would probably regret it and want to get 17's cuz an inch difference isn't much as far as looks are concerned. My friend has 18's on his Lancer and they look good but 17's would make the car more proportional.

 

I had 17's. Liked them. I got 15's. Love them. My car is lowered and I think a good 15 or 16 inch rim looks very good. Added bonus, tires tend to be cheaper, and your ride is smoother. Plus my wheels weigh only 9 lbs!

 

Yea i even got 16's and they honestly feel a bit heavier than my stock ones i can't imagine how 17s would feel ( well i guess its cause i got some icw's hehe) 9lb thats insane!!!

 

depends. 17s for looks. 16 are more desired if you attend weekend club racing events (ie, scca auto-x, etc...)

 

do u have 215/45's?

 

YEs 17's look awesome with a drop but i agree with amby 17' for show 16's for go.
Right now i make 339hp to my front wheels and i have 17's they dont get any traction even with 205/45r17 bridgestone RE-11 race compund tires. so if your going for all show 17 and 16 if you want some power

 

Do you mean 339 WHP or 339 crank HP? 339 crank is believable but 339 WHP is a bit high. RE-11s aren't race compound tires, they're still a street tire. I have their ancestors, the RE01Rs and while sticky, they're nowhere near R-compound level.

 

Yes 339whp and its about 400to the crank. that is a fully built motor with 20lbs of boost

 

16s

 

i have a set of 15s 16s and 17s.

for performance id go 15s hands down.

for looks go 16s.

offset, tire size, brands do make a difference though.

 

I think I am going to Stick with 17s, I got an offer for my Stock Ekenis out here in Guam and now I am looking at trying to find a nice 5 Spoke Replacement.

 

go: 15" or 16".. i have the 15" konig helium and they're fairly light.
show: go 17".. i think 18" is too big for a lancer.

 

i agree about the 16's thats what i use

 

17"s

 

I've got 4 Brand New 18" Rims that I DON'T WANT. There just too big and I doubt I would be able to put a drop kit on my 03 OZ if I put the 18's on. So I'm going with 17's. I don't mean to piggy back off of Justin's post but does anybody know what size the best dementions are for 17's? Hight/Wedth/Offset/ect?
