nothing wrong with going for the 'look' but IMHO these are too big.

the 86 isn't the best looking car. If you want "the look" and not performance, there are plenty of options.

Everyone says that bigger wheels look stupid. They will most likely reduce performance, but I don't see what makes "you" qualified to say that these "look" stupid. I'm pretty sure many people where drooling over the concept, which happened to have 20" wheels...

Respect the opinions and decisions of other people. There is nothing wrong with saying that you don't like "it", but at the same time, there is nothing saying that "it" is wrong. Nasty comments are not called for so please just quit. If anything, state why "you" would not apply them to "your" car.


I'll admit that that "NO dove" above is funny.

Yea some of those concept 86/FRS/STI were hot with the big wheels. But the wheels that were chosen for the concept cars mentioned above were spot on! :happy0180:
