Anyone running 16s on a 2003 s? mine came with 18s stock. I now have it sitting on 19s. Hate it w the big rims... too heavy. So, i'm thinking the smaller the better, but wouldnt 16s look awkward on an 03? Someone is selling a 16 inch BBS for a decent price. Thinking about it. Any thoughts?

16" rims won't fit over Box S brake calipers. Stick to 17" or 18" for best combination of weight and tire choices.
