Given the choice...

would you choose to purchase a set of 15" rims? Or a set of 16" rims for a daily driver?

15" you got more padding and you won't be feeling as much of the road as you would on 16" rubbers.

Then on the other hand you get the small bling factor of the slightly larger 16".

What would you guys choose?

Cost is not an issue but weight and style factor both equally

depends on the car you have. on 4th gens i think 16's look too big unless it has a skirt package which is the reason I got 15's. I think on an EK hatch a nice set of blades will looks good or sir's or even hammerheads which are all 15's. IMO I wouldn't put 16's on my car unless I have lips or a skirt package and those 3 sets of rims above will give the car a much cleaner look with a nice lowering job.

ok if he's got a 6th gen sedan then I would put gunmetal 16's on it, I think 15"s will look a bit small on it. I though it was a hatch.

16'S, IMO 15" is not even worth getting rims. Might as well stick with stock.

I'd go with 15's just for acceleration purposes.

I prefer 15's just for the fact that I can run a 50 series or 55 series tires for a greater level of cushion from the pothole infested streets that I drive on.

depending on which rim you choose..16's..
you say the spendies ain't an issue, so maybe get OZ or sumtin'..(mine are less weight than the rubber..17=15lbs, tires are a tad heavier at 215/45/17,,,,,overall lighter than my stock 15's)

did you buy the OZ Superleggara? Those are sick

Yeah, the spendies isn't too much of an issue. Obviously I'm not looking at purchasing those $1000 per rim type of rims hahah but yeah... you get my point
