Exclamation Last question before I order, I promise.....

Well the choice has been finally narrowed down to these two, I'll be getting 205/50/16 tires, this is going on my silver sedan and will be unlowered. Honest opinions would be appreciated...

#1 + lowered

with the money you would save getting number one over number two you can get a set of megan racing springs and the car would look great!

I'd actually suggest doing this and going with #1 in a 15 inch wheel 205/55/15 with 1.5 drop on the megans you'd save money and be looking real good.

I would like #2 better if you were getting 17's or 18's, but in a 16 inch wheel, I think #1 will look better. $85 a wheel is nice too.

agreed... #2 looks a lot like the OZ Superturismos, but in 16" and silver, nah... in white, maybe, yeah...

I would be going with 17's, but without lowering the car it would look retarted with a huge gap between the rire and wheel well, also if I lived in California with perfect roads that would be one thing, but I live in New Orleans which is pothole heaven, what do you expect from a 300 year old city. If a person drives slow and careful are 17's safe with the thinner tires, I don't want bent rims in 2 months. That big gap bothers me also....

Trust me, I went my first year to college in San Diego and my Fiance lives in the Bay Area, California as a whole has very good roads. About the only states that I can say have better roads are Texas and Mississippi. New Orleans has bad roads, not Wash D.C. or Philly bad but bad.

I think i'm going with the #2 in 16x7 with 205/50/16's It seems like everyone has the japanese style or variation there of. I like a more mature look, but either way it should be a huge advantage over the stock steelies and hub caps.

I want to thank everyone here for their input and i'll post pictures once I have them.
