but seriously, there are group buys on Rota C8's somewhere here, I believe, if not over yet
16" are perfect for your ride, lightweight and actually useful, unlike heavy 17"s or bigger

I think the motegi's have a rim called a trac lite of soem ****...looks liek the volk gram lights...probobly light aswell...lol...but ya motegi's are heavy garbage, get soem 15's, maybe a rota, but 15's with some t1s's or azenis rubber woudl be real nice...

HEAVY or not.... what r u going for the looks or race???
if looks - go as big as you want... heavy or not...
race - go with something lighter....
just remember that American Racing owns like 70-80% of the rims out there!

Hey Gatsby, just so you know, the height of rubber is not measured in mm.
For example, my 205-40-17 is measured like so...
205 - tire width in mm
40- aspect ratio (as compared to width) so the height is 40% of 205mm
17 - obviously rim size in inches
anyways, Sean, I would recommend 205-45-16's myself for your car, 17's look great (see my EG below) but if I was doing it again I'd go for 16's for practicality and comfort. If you're into the bling thing 17's and 18's can fit just fine.
