i'd say 16'' are the best.

It all depends what you're after; technically the smaller rims give you better acceleration, but the larger ones give you better top-end speed. Obviously the smaller ones look a little lost in the arches, but larger ones can catch (especially if you've got dropped suspension... maybe so the small wheels don't look odd). - Quite a few people run 16"s as that seems to be a good compromise on overall radius and clearance; they should even clear most big brake kits.

I've already answered this question in one of your many threads a couple of days ago.

In that case, I'll close this one... we don't need the same thing over and over again; nobody likes repeating themselves. ;-)
