i duno what to do, i will be recieving my annual bonus this paycheck and have decided on the wheels (im not saying yet) but i duno if i should get 15" or 16" both sets are +45 offset which i heard was O.K for the EK9 (15X6.5 & 16X7 by the way) HELP:nice:
 
depends what you use the car for... i prefer 15x7 i feel i have A LOT more tire options with that size and that is VERY important to me as my car is not daily driven so i usually run R compound tires which wear out fast... 16" looks a little bit better but tire selection is a bit limited, also tires are about 25% cheaper for 15" wheels. its up to you.
 
my car is a daily driver so tyres are not so important, it will see a track this year but i will use OEM wheels for that. will i loose accleration??

15X6.5 = 13lb

16X7 = 15 lb:wow: LOL
 
assuming you have the stock 195/55/15 tires you should not loose acceleration with 16" wheels as long as you get 205/45/16 tires on them...
