The ride quality improvement alone is worth the 'downgrade' to 16's. I think the car looks better with a little more sidewall showing as well, and the car also becomes more fun to drive, since the small increase in sidewall flex (depending on which tires you choose to run) adds another entertaining dimension to handling. Granted, I'm on stock springs so I have relatively long, soft travel compared to lowering springs, but it's the same principle. I'm convinced the chassis was developed around a 16" wheel, and the 17's are a marketing upgrade.

I much prefer these over the stock FRS ones. They look great.

I have these rims and they are looking much much better than the 17''.
It is difficult to find them in the US. Current trend is to go bigger and not smaller .. |

They need just a little more offset and they'd fill the fenders out quite nicely.

Some spacers, chubby sidewall, and some negative camber would make these perfect.
