Question 91 n/a Rims??

I was wondering what everyone thought about rims for a 91. What rims look good? and is 17" a good size? pics would be really helpful.

The stock ones loook pretty nice. I think 17" is about as large as I would go any larger and you have a huge setup or a tiny tire.

I dont think anyone said that there WERE 17" stock rims. All he was saying is that is as large as he would go.

Anywho...its all personal preference.....get what looks good to you...I just wouldnt go any larger than 17.

Wheel choice is very personal. In my opinion, all aftermarket wheels suck except the ones I have. So this is a choice you need to make for yourself, otherwise you'll find that you'll spend $2K and be unhappy in a month when you realize you bought a set of ugly wheels...

17" is about as large as I would go. If you check my signature, my car has 17" wheels.

Yep go with what you like. just try to make sure you dont get rims that weigh too much or you will lose performance. Although our stock turbo rims are pretty heavy I feel. I want to find a set of rims that weigh less than 15 pounds apiece. i know there used to be some axis rims and a few others that are light but most of them are 4 lug. Volk wheels are sweet but cost too much. I personally have some 17 5 zeigen Fireball rims. I like em and the feel about the same weight as my t2 rims.

i like my prime 16"s but they are too narrow (7") and the offest on the rears need to be spaced out an inch, i really wish i had the dough to have someone machine me some wheels similar that fit my car perfect . . .
