Input(on rims)?

This may be the wrong section, but not sure where else it would go..

Anways, the Wagon is fixing to get a new pair of shoes, and getting lowered.

I'm trying to figure out what kind of rims she should get. I'm leaning towards 16" because the 17s look too big and the 15s look to small. What do you guys think about these?

Any other rims styles you guys think would look good on the Wagon?

    They look good but how much do they weigh and how wide are they? Also, what size rubber are you looking at putting on? Try and stick as close to stock diametre as possible that way you'll retain your current fuel economy and torque. Also, if the tyre is too wide you will experience tramlining. I'd suggest around 215/40/16, this will give you a tyre diamtre of around 6mm larger than stock (i think thats about 1/4 of an inch?) and a smaller tyrewall (important for flex) and not too much width that it will excessively tramline.

    Oh and i've moved it. :D

    They weigh somewhere around 18lbs each, and I was thinking of a 205 tire.

    They are 16x7s.

    Sad news, they don't have them in 4x100. :(

    Anybody know where to get rims in this style?

    and they are cheap. about 100 bucks a rim. I used to have a set on my civic.

    I had the 15" and tehy weigh 13.8lbs. they do have 16 and 17"

    or if you wanna bling out your wagon try SSR Comps.

    I agree with Pacifier on not getting too large. 15s are plenty big enough for our little wagons. You won't have to worry about clearance and turning radius issues ....plus they are more inexpensive than the larger stuff!
    Check out a place called WWW.BUYWHEELSTODAY.COM for some decent inexpensive deals on wheel and tire packages.
    try copying and pasting this....

    I just picked up a set of silver alloy Konig Heliums ( about $700) that i think look very similar to what you posted. The only thing is the pictures sometimes make them look very Chromey looking when actually they are more like a brushed aluminum finish. Which is what i was hoping for anyway :)
    Good luck in your search !
