I'm not a huge huge fan of either but definitely A over B.

I say neither. If you already have 97-99 se rims I don't really see the point unless the rims + tires were given to you for free. The q45 rims don't look that much better for me to even bring out the lug nut wrench.

Q45's look stylish and very unique on the max

Thanks for all the replies. I'm a bit surprised by the universal opinion. It's always fun to have a post reviewed and replied to by so many people.

Pic A, the 17" rims look better imho.

Keep the 16" for winter driving

Sweet looking ride btw.

pic B are nicer rims. Too small though. Both arnt that great. And who cares about tires, you will replace them before you replace the rims anyways

Actually, i wanted to be nice, but i see ppl are speaking their mind

I don't really like them much...get a nice set of 18's, 42 mm offset...something allong the lines of konig, mille miglia...you can find something really nice in those brands...2003 OEM SE 17" is nice too...

Just to answer a few questions.
Yes this is BlueC's old car.
Yes the "B" rims are MUCH lighter.
I've already put the Q45's back on and the B rims are for sale
