15" or 16"???

- Tue Feb 03, 2015 4:28 am #351554 hi all, i'm a new owner of a EG hatch. looking for some aftermarket wheels.

is 16" too big for a EG hatch? i know 15" have more tire choices, but this car is a daily driver, slightly lowered (not slammed), and i don't care about performance. so from a pure LOOK dept, should i go with 15" or 16"?

anyone want to post their 15" or 16" on their car, please do.

thanks!

This might help you out.

For reference these are 15" wheels on my hatch.

And now the less aggressive fitment of 15s.

Some wheel designs also look better in a 16" size than a 15". It also depends on what you want to do with the car (stance/stretch/slam/tuck/just a decent drop etc.)
