whos got the biggest?

I want some 16's, if I can get some at a decent price... I will settle for 17's but the 16's would give more of a smother ride so I can get more rubber out of the rim.

Agreed, I would like a set of 16's for ride quality but I will sacrifice for the look of 17's.

There was a set of 4 rims at a garage sale, for $100 obo. They were 16's but.... 6 lug I was so pissed LOL. They had a few marks on them but for that price they were damn good. If aveo's were only 6 lug.....

That would be rediculous lol.

if it was 6 lug off a gm or toyota, the bolt circle is about the size of our rotors..

i am considering selling my wheels to get what i really wanted.

Seriously, there's no difference between 16" and 17" on ride quality, believe me, you won't notice a difference... I don't notice a difference between the ride quality of the original 14"s and my 17"s, I don't notice a difference at all... People say there's a difference but thats only "assuming" that there's less rubber so there's less quality. But unless you drive on a dirt road with plenty of rocks or a beat up asphalt road with potholes, bumps and all sorts of other stuff, you won't notice anything.

BTW I have 17"s. When I was shopping around I was pressured to go for 18"s but then I asked around more and it's kind of risky for a car like this because then you're really riding on low rubber and if you run over just 1 pot hole at speed you'll dent your rims. The only cars that can ride on 18"s are cars that aren't sub compacts.

Bottom line, screw 16"s, 17" or bust, you'll really apprecieate the extra inch of rim and less inch of rubber when looking at it.

Look at my cardomain. I'm on 205/40/17s

if you do proper up sizing then a 16" tire will have 10-15mm more sidewall than a 17" rim, when you only have 40-50mm of side wall that is a huge difference. but if you run a 205/40r16, it has the exact sidewall as a 205/40r17, just a bigger rim/diameter..
