I can't make up my mind...I'm upgrading my car. I got the ST springs, and KYB struts, now the hard part....The rims...
Should I keep my 15 inch ROH Reflex and get some lower profile tires, or 16's, or go with the 17's... I dont want the rims to look like they dont fit, Can somebody help, pictures would be great....Sorry, but I'm really confused and I need help !!!!

get either 16's or 17's. 15's are too small. here's my ride with 17's & intrax springs:

I highly suggest you do not get 15" wheels with lower profile tires. That will offset your speedometer and in some states (such as mine) you will not pass inspection. If you do not want a harsh ride then I suggest you go with 15" or 16" wheels with the correct tire size. If you want looks then I would go with 17" wheels. If you want looks & ride comfort, then 16" wheels are the way to go.

They don't tell you how much they cost or where to buy them.. well unless you click on Distributors but there are none in my state. Here is a pic of my max with ST springs and 17" Silver Eagle wheels..

Wow,
I remember checking out the rims on your white Max at the LSP meet and they didn't look polished, more like they were painted or something, except 1... I took a pic of the car too, it's somewhere, i'll find it and check it out again, I was thinking of those rims myself, i like shinier stuff too, polished would be better then chrome but I didn't know how exactly "polished" rims look, I figured they look like "Confused"s Volks.. nice and shiny metal.
i could use it as a spare for when i get my 17's on. . .
