    Moreover why no choice of 16" rims?
    + a big 1

    IF I don't win these, I am going down from a 17 to a 16.. baby bear says "Just Right"

    The bigger these wheels are the better they look. 17s would look best for this wheel.

    Smart! 15's are tough finds now looking for a 225-50-15 right now for some 15x8.5 and I think it's gonna be Toyo T1R's as there is squat out there besides the Ecsta, HTR200 and AVS200 from tirerack.

    Who has free shipping on Toyo's these days? T!R's are 123 and change plus shipping.

    Awesome that they're allowing a choice, but I think it's mind-bendingly retarded that they don't offer that wheel in a 16".

    Hm, I didn't realize the best Extreme Performance tires are still available in 235/40R17. Color me surprised, I thought 235 was on its way out!

    Yeah, if you are looking to buy 70k mile touring tires. But all the bad boy sticky street tires are still available in that size.

    NTO5, Direzza, AD08, RE-11, etc etc

    17x7 is silly. I'd go with 15's at that width.

    17s would be the way to go.

    A 15 in this style looks odd and 17's have better tire selection, plus it just looks better.

    16s...

    But I think overall more people would be happy w/ 15s!

    if u wanna race/autoX then go 15s. if you are on the street and look cool, go 17s.
    i have 16s and love the size. bigger wheels = more weight usually.

    I'd have to go with 17's. I generally don't like wheels that big on E30s, but I don't like the huge tires you have to run with 15's, too much sidewall.
