Question 16's vs. 17's on 01 GS

Does anyone happen to have a side by side picture comparison of two GS's, one shod with 16 inch rims and the other with 17's? Am considering going to 17's when my Toyo's are shot. Thanks.

Default No Pic

I have no side by side pic unfortunately. I'm sure there are some pics in the gallery but I guarantee 17's look alot better and if you are going to change 18's look even better.

I may be the only one out here, but my preference is to stay within the parameters of what was offered on the car from the factory. I have modified some of the lighting, however, to suit my tastes. Thanks for your response, I'll check the gallery.

Yeah the 17" Mesh really takes about a 1/2inch away from the appearance!! So they look like 16 and a half inch rims!! LOL

I like the factory 5spokes better for appearance! But the mes has a classy look to it!
