I have a '94 240sx vert and I'm getting some wheels for it soon. Its all stock and hasn't been lowered, yet, so should I go with 17s or 16s? and what offset?

Sounds like a fair trade. (j/k).

My view is if it's a DD, you'll have a better ride with 16's, but 17's probably look a little better,

I think 17's are as big as you can go on s13s without looking stupid. I have 17s on my vert, I like them. Then again, some 16's look great on them as well.

Are you going 5-lug?

I don't think size matters when the car isn't lowered. A 16" wheel will look just as dumb on a 4x4 stance as a 17" will.

Well, s14 SE wheels look great on s13s regardless of ride height, imo.

but other than that I agree. Anything aftermarket will look weird.

You should pick up to 10 of your favorite wheels then post a pic of your car and make a poll so everyone can vote on which ones they like the most.

I can't tell if that is sarcasm or not. I'm really hoping it is.
