whatever is your preference is, most people on here have 17's, 18's or 19's, i have 18 inch rims on my car, it just depends on what size and look your going for, there is a rim thread in the wheels, tires, and brakes section

haha....this thread could go on for days if we tried to answer that question....just pick out some you like and then u could ask us if they are a good rim or tire. I have 17s on mine and it needs to be lowered but i like the size of them...sometimes i wish they were 18s, and personally i wouldnt go with 19s, some people pull them off really well but they usually also have a body kit or something to go with them. but thats just my opinion

For a daily driver, stick with 17 max. And be sure to upgrade the suspension, so you don't look like a Donk...

I think 17 is a good number to stand by.

Donk? lol.

18's! 17 just dont seem big enough and 19's are just to big were rubbing can happen. 18's look good.

17s for me. Possibly 18s, but it depends on the wheels and other mods to the car.
