I'll second that. Not too heavy either in most cases.

I've had 14, 15, 16 and 17s... ultimately it comes down to personal preferrence. try the size you think you'll like, see how that works, then try the other size.

You have to ask yourself first: what am I gonna use these wheels for?

For looks only? For competition? For both? Is money an issue? How much can I spend?

Well, for overall, the clear winner on a 6th gen is a 16 inch rim, which is what I"m currently sittin on.

17s kill for looks, and 15s are amazing for performance and comfort

price diff is negligible between each

If price ain't issue, shoot for 15"x7 Volk, Desmond, SSR, or Buddy Club.
