17" is nice but 16" would be the right balance. I got mine with 40 offset.

IMO, 17" better..
as can use wider tyres thus better handling and steering response.

Assuming same wheel models, roughly what is the weight different between 16" and 17" ?

For our 4X100pcd, which will have a better value if were to sell?
Thinking of changing rim like every 2 years and don't want to lose too much. ;D

16" rim any particular offset for latio? :confused1:
if known, then able to narrow down search for suitable rim

wonder if rim size will affect offset?
any bro can help to clear my doubt?
