(Sorry this is in the wrong thread, didn't know I was still in lounge area)

Hey guys, after searching and thinking for a few days I have now hit a brick wall. Hoping you guys can shed some light.

I have a 1999 323 Protege Sedan (BJ)

I want to buy new rims, originally I was planning to go for some 15 X 6.5" rims as they are: decently priced; slightly wider; have a decent sized tyre wall; look good; etc.

However, now I am starting to think that since I am spending the money I might as well go a step further buy some 16 inch rims.

My main concern is that the 16's will scrub as I drive rather spiritedly through corners; however, since I will not be lowering the car at this stage I was thinking that it may not be a problem.

So what do you guys reckon? Should I stick with getting the 15's or just harden up and get some 16's ?

Cheers,
