I would stay at 15 inches though some people suggested that 16 inch is good as the wheels are wider and more contact on the road surface. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jb15 1st Gear May 21, 2009 Share May 21, 2009 My personal choice is the stock low spoiler. That is nice. Anything above that is blocking my rear view if you know what I mean. I'd go for high spoiler; evo / gt wing. Else go spoilerless.. my stock spoiler's 2 led blew.. dang.. have to go back to C&C.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come to think of it, I'm at my 4th set of rims :P For Vans and lorries, can't change to sport rims unless it came stock. Else in case of accidents, insurance WILL NOT cover. Heard this from experienced driver. Take note brother Terence ;] My dad wanted to change his HIACE Turbo's too but I just told him that and he's sticking with the chrome covers. Think I'll remove it totally so the rims area get more air.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
