Well I am planning on purchasing new wheels. I have a s14 base model(4 lugs). What size should I fit? 16s or 17s? What kind of offset should i look for? and what type of difference in driving will i have between 17 and 16? i plan to make the car semi drift/ daily driver. Thanks

should be in wheel forum.

i think 15-16 is ideal for daily driver type, with occassional learning of the drift.

then you can step up to 17s after that, depending on what kind of money you have to use.

after that, you could do a 17/18 setup which is badass.

nice pics bro

I thought 17 would look smaller on the car but they look nice. I have 19's on my accord and thy dont to big and they fit the car well.BTW nice choice in the wheel style it goes really nicely. I also am looking into a mesh wheel with a lip.Now i might look into getting some 17's and save some cash!Thanks alotBrandon
