I'm looking at getting some new wheels and not sure which size I want to get. 16" are cheaper but I don't know if 17" would look better. Also which ones fit better?

I still stick to my theory of 18's for the 6, The arches are just too big

Lol. But hey. Our Celica does have it's luxurious side so 18s do fit perfect with our cars also. It's just all self preference. I understand where you're coming from. the 18s covers the wheel well just perfect but then again you can do the same with smaller wheels with bigger sidewalls.
