13" makes ever better acceleration, why don't you get some steelies and PRETEND they are HARDCORE?

Or you could do it the real hardcore way.
16" Volks 5.1 Kg

5Zigen FN-01R 5.3 Kg

Whatever I say, my opinion, nobody needs to agree with me.
Whatever works for you man

but IMO, with your ***** D16Y7(106hp) and running with only 3 cylinders. Won't make much of a difference regardless which wheel you are going to get.

If money isn't a problem, then get some 16's and some forced induction so that acceleration isn't a problem.

That's why I put 17's on the MR2 and wasn't concerned about the acceleration since I had plenty of power.

LOL...ok...let me re-state my original post..

cost isn't a problem with the rims! Not the whole car

Hell if I had that much money I'd be driving a WRX instead, and then I'd upgrade the turbo and ****

I want Volk CE28N in bronze

Koni Heliums are a copy of the CE28N. They are cheap and lightweight. The only thing is, they come in 15" and 17".

yeah, I was looking at the Helium, but I dun like the fact they there is no 16" (which I think is completely retarded).

17" heliums aren't that light either right? Or am I wrong? I can't remember

I don't think they're too bad for a 17. My guess is 15/16lbs.

pity though that 17's need like a 40 tire, and 40 tires are rather harsh for daily driving is it not?

17 are okay for a daily driver. 6th gen and 16 rims just don't mix well IMO. Eh BOND007? LOL Well, lookswise it's okay, but it neither bling nor swing, kinda sittin on the fence.... choose big or small. If big, go big... if small, get the smallest size rims that will clear the biggest brakes you wanna put in there. In my case it happens 15s clear the brakes I bought.
