I was considering diferent wheels for the my 96 del sol that has been droped with the eibach sports line springs. For some reason 17's with out a body kit seems to look to big. But i think 16's might not be right either. I would only be looking for looks not the performance end of it. Any pics of delsol's with 16's or 17's with out a bkit would be great. Give me your opinion. 16's look good or to small, 17's monster truck look alike, or bling bling. Leaning torwards the 16" Maxxim Rumors.

I have 17's with a kit, so no pics from me. Either 16's or 17's would look good, but i understand what you mean about 17's without a kit. It's more subjective and I think it depends on the style of wheel that makes it look weird or not. Don't forget about the offset of the wheel and the weight. I know your not concerned with performance, but keep in mind that the factory Si and VTEC wheels which are 14's weigh about 16lbs. I would try to find a wheel that weighs the same if not less in a larger wheel to help with performance. My 17's weigh 16 lbs. Is a body kit in your future? If not then maybe I would go with 16's. 17's are great for a body kit and filling in the wheel wel more then 16's, but subjective. Daily driver? The 16's are a little more forgiving depending on the tire for general road conditions and ride quality. Not to say 17's can't provide that, but generally the wider the wheel and the lower the profile of the tire then you will feel more of the road, ie bumps, and possible greater damage to the wheel, depending on what you hit.
