Default Anyone have pics with 16" rims?

please post pics if you've got 16" or smaller wheels. I'm trying to decide on 16" front/17" rear, or a 17" front/18" rear combo.
Worried 16's might be too small, but then again I like the look of more tire, rather than all wheel. I'm a white boy, I dont like bling bling 22's haha.
Thanks guys!

16" suck...waaaay to small for these cars. Personally I dont like different sizes combos but if you do the best Ive seen are 18/19 and 19/20 (wich is difficult to pull off but is doable when done tastefully) Im running 19 all fours.

damn, those things are huge man! C'mon, anyone gonna stick up for 16's? haha.......I like the different size combo, it adds to that old school raked look. Gives it that aggressive tilt I've been wanting.
The 17/18 combo is expensive, thats the only real reason I'm asking to see 16's.
late!

Smaller wheel= more sidewall=more traction.

Also, the smaller the wheel, the less it weighs.

One way to think about it.

Personally I like the 16" chrome T/A wheels and they look good with the MT ET streets 255 50 16". They dead flipping hook too!!

I was thinking about leaving the 16s up front with 245s and getting some 17" WS6 wheels and have them widened to 11'' for the rears and go with 315s. If I didn't like it I could just pick up a set of 17s for the front.
