 Some people  dont like bigger rims, but i think 17s still look good on older cars. And now im used to them so when i see older rims they look like they have too much sidewall. The only thing id say is your car would look cool a touch lower in the rear. overall nice change

That would be me. I think 15 is big enough, but to each his own..I saw a set of 30's on a Humnmer H2. Im waiting for the wagon wheel to come back in style.

so long as theyre not 22's or something else ridiculously large (and dont have those asshat spinners), I think they can look good on older rides.
