Do aftermarket 15's look good?

[stealthtt24]

I have a front set of Slipstreams from my colt that I was thinking of putting on my Galant, but realized they are 15's. Anyone know if they would look OK or should I look into getting 16's or 17's? This car is just going to be a street/strip car, no autoX or anything like that. Thanks! Mark Pics would be nice of any aftermarket 15s too /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

Of course it is personal preference but if ya got 'em roll 'em. Just make sure they clear the brakes before you set it down. Sure stock is 15 too but ya never know.

Go 16s man.

I always thought the Lancer O.Z. wheels looked good but they have a kind of oem feel. If I were to by strictly aftermarket I'd go 16's or 17's.

 

Id cut the fenders and go with 22's....just playin id go with 16's

Evo 1 or Evo 2/3 OZ wheels but don't count as aftermarket - Minilites, or the very similar RS Watanabe wheel look brilliant.
Too bad they cost heaps.

I had 15" Volks, I liked them.

Thanks, anyone else with pictures? I just dont know who the hell is gonna buy two 15 slipstreams, It would be more cost effective to just get two more 15's...

I have a set of OZ wheels that were powdercoated white. I think they look great and tires are going to be über cheap. The drawbacks are that some high performance tires aren't available in 15", and the rims are narrow at 7".

If you want to ditch the sleeper look a bit, go for it. Otherwise it's hard to complain about the stockers.

I have 17"s, too big IMHO. I want to buy 16" 5zigens, untill then I have EVO I and EVO III OZ/Enkei stock 15" rims. pretty nice, kinda oem and really good quality.

Slipstreams definitely look better when they are 16" or smaller. Get em.

Well a local with stock 15's from a 92 came over today to grab a part and I thought his wheels look hot, so I told him i'd buy them off him when he is willing to part with them, I'll just get them powdercoated locally, thanks guys!

98+ Galant/Legnum and (possibly FTO) mags.

I would run 15's but the problem is available tires that are about 24.5" tall. They are either that tall but narrow or you find wide tires but they are only about 22" tall. For that reason I would go with at least 16" wheels.

IMO, if your going to spend the money to upgrade, at least get 16s. Maybe 17s if you have brake upgrades on the brain.

Sure those aren't 16s? Those are the wheel used on the 8g GVR4. I have a set if anyone is interested in buying them. Had them on 855 before I went to 17s, then ran them on my 2g Spyder and they looked good on that car too. Now it has 17s also.
