I am getting ready to get some wheels and need some advice.

I live downtown San Diego where there are potholes everywhere and I am going to use this as a daily work vehicle for Real Estate. I want it to look good and like the 18's but they just won't work with the potholes and bumps.

I am trying to find the compromise between function and style. If go with 17's would I still need to lower it for it to look good, and how low? If I went with 16's would I still need to lower it?

How do tuner style 16's look with the stock height? 17"s....help I'm confused!!!!!! :evil: :twisted:

Sorry I doint have picks but I have the Tein H springs. If you are gonna lower and still want be able to get around town I recomend the H springs. Iv had them for a month and I love them. Great ride and not to low, about 1.5 at the most. Iv heard that 17's with a 40 size tire are a good ride. When I get rims and tires I will go that route.

The box looks lowered right out of the box. I get asked daily if it is or not....NOT!!! thankyouverymuch. 17 inch wheels are a very good compromise between good looks and good ride quality.

IMO no size wheel looks good at stock height. looks like a 4wd car or something. H-Techs like Rage says ;-)
