go with the 16's , they are a good size width rims being 8 , so you can run a 245 easily . And you can run bigger aftermarket brakes with the 16s too.

16s all the way.. I think 16s and 17s are the perfect size rim for our car.. Do they even make IROCS in 17s? i dont think so.. I kno they make 18x8.. Problem is the 8inch width.. Man they should make 9 or 9.5!!

Yeah you can get chrome iroc's up to 20". Tho I would never go over 17" rides too rough, and tire cost get up there. The question with the 15in wheels is are they rare? will they be worth more on the car at a later time?. Doubtful but wanted to see the boards thoughts.
