So i assume the ones you would be buying are 5 lug right? Do you have specs or anything? I like how they look overall but if they are way heavier or something I would pass.

How cheap are you looking? I mean koni, rota, drag, etc all make cheap 16" wheels but you might just be better off staying stock until you can get something nicer.

hate to sound like a jerk, but those wheels are hideous. You didn't mention offsets, so they probably don't fit the car right...nice way to wind up in a ditch.

What's wrong with OE wheels?

Looks like he said the offsets are 42. I like them. If 16s are in the end goal for the car, I say go for it. But if you picture the car with bigger wheels in the future, I say hold off.

I've actually seen some Rotas that look pretty dang nice on s2k's. I know they are cheap and there are quite a few people that hate them, but it's your car, who cares. I personally like the Rota DPT's, they seem reasonably priced for what they are.

If you're replacing wheels, go 17s. Never seen aftermarket 16s on this car that didn't look sorry.
