15's

/size discussion :P

The rim style is also going to be a personal preference. 3, 4, 5, 6 spoke etc.. 1, 2, 3 piece wheels, offset, REAL wheels vs REPLICA wheels.... it's all your own preference don't let anyone else decide for you!

was a very common choice a while back. seemed like everyone and their grandma had them. I personally got tired of seeing them all over the place, but they do look good on some cars.

I'm not fond of slipstreams on sedans but thats just me.....maybe if "I" were to have your car and wanted slips I would get white 16's. 8)

Here are a bunch of white sedans with different wheels for reference..

4 and 5 are actually work equip 03s. Real wheels, not copies. They also come in a 3 piece design. Rota and Axis and Drag all make copies of this wheel. Axis copy is a 15x8 with a +25 offset.

1, 2 and 3 piece wheels, refers to the design of the wheel itself. how many pieces it is seperately. Most wheels are 1 piece. two piece wheels mean the face/center piece seperates from the barrell. Barrel is where the tire mounts. Three piece wheels take that one step further and have an outter lip, center section(face) and an inner lip/barrel. Most common 3 piece is the BBS RMs.

Rota GT3s or the drag version perhaps. Could even be the Real Gabs.

Not on a low HP car, they're just fine for everyday driving, just not great for a track wheel.

I agree. I don't race or do drifting, so rota's should be ok? and it's cheaper compared to other brands, am I right? thanks!
