really?? bigger rim makes u go slower?
A bigger wheel will accelerate slower but have a higher top speed.
A smaller wheel will accelerate quicker, but top end will suffer.
I think the reason is the amount of times the wheels turns compared to the rear end or something like that.
Am i way off, or am i half right?
BTW, i think the 17's would be best.

it should not affect the speed of the car as long as the total outside diamiter is the same. the big diff from stock 15- 16" wheels is that most cheep 16 "tires weigh a ton more than the 15"ers. which + more rotationanl weight.
