15"s or 16"s for Winter tires for 2000 GLE?
Trying to debate whether one size of steelies/wheels is better than the other.

Any recommendations folks? Thanks.

the logic seems to be, the smaller the rim, the better grip you'll have as the width is going to decrease. Personally, I think 15" rims look bad on a car like a maxima.. to big for those dinky rims

16s all the way
On a 2000 Max definetly stick with the 16s. I don't like the look of the 4th Gen's with 15s nevermind a 5th Genner.
