What wheels?

I have a 1992 Red RS. I have the 17 inch Aluminum wheels on my car that had the color coated option on them. I was wondering if i should get them repainted the red color or get the 16 inch aluminum option wheels. You opinion would be great.

so you have the color coded cross laced wheels?

personally the z or upgraded rs wheels look alot better and the 16" rim will give you more choices in brake upgrades as well as better performance tires.

i'm a fan of going larger myself though and consider 17's to be the new 15's of the past so it's all personal preference. i love my 18's and wish i had 19's so go figure.

if you can get a cheap set of good condition stock 16" z28 wheel for 91-92 and polish them or go chrome it would look very sharp indeed and not hurt your wallet too badly like the larger sizes.
