Rims for 02 ws6

I can't seem to find any answers on the Internet or pictures I'm just wanting to know if 21" rims would fit on my 02 ws6 and if so how stupid it would look the reason I am asking is I found a set of them for a damn good price and they would go well with my color scheme
TIA

They will look stupid. And many people will point and laugh at you.

Little harsh but it is what it is. Stick to 17'' and 18''

Yeah, I have 19" on my car, and I already get crap about that. Larger would just look ridiculous on these cars.

Please don't put 21s on a WS6.

Anything bigger than 18 is really pushing it. 19s can be done, but its very hard to make them look good.

Dont do it, although its possible to fit.
Besides you would have a hard time finding tires for 21 inch wheels anyway. I would stick with 17" or 18" wheels.

Puppies will die if you go 21 on these cars.

19 max but 18 max is more realistic.

19s look great with the right wheel and as said you still get **** for it.

18s are pretty much perfect for these cars.

20+ are stupid as **** looking.

That's what's on my car currently. I'm actually considering taking them off and going back to WS6 wheels.

Blasphemy!

Seriously though, 21's are way too big. I get nothing but compliments on my 19's.

I can't imagine how bad the ride quality would be with tires that big.

Forget those 21 inch wheels for your TA

Those are simply way too tall for the TA. They would stupid for sure. Sorry.
I am considering going with stock size 17's in front and some wider 18's in the back.

Take a look at the stickies that show a ton of cars with various tire and wheel combinations and that might give you an idea of what you like both in size and the color and style of wheel you want. It helped me decide what I thought looked like a cool wheel but when I saw it on a black WS6 like mine I did not like it.

Seeing something like you are planning on buying before buying it is your best bet. It won't be 21 inch rims though.

I just don't understand what makes a person put those dumb looking and even worse driving size of wheel on those cars. Amazing someone somewhere actually thought those were good ideas.

HAHAHAHA
