15" or 16" Wheels??? '97 GT 'Vert Options

[FrankB2]

I'm looking for an appearance bump that won't require any other mods, or effect my car's handling (great with 15" rims).
I was looking at something like this: http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/WheelCloseU...&sort=Brand

I just had a new top installed, and all it needs now are some rims that don't look so 90's.

Speaking of weight, I like these wheels: http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/WheelCloseU...p;association=1
There's a 5lb difference between the 15" and 16"!!!

*** The problem with 15" wheels, is there aren't many choices for tires. I've been using Kumho Ecsta, and they work better than the Bridgestone Potenzas that were on the car when I bought it.

This is the main reason I want to go with 16" wheels. Trying to finds performance tires in the stock 205 55 15 is impossible. Going with 16" wheels will allow you a large variety of performance tire choices for reasonable prices as well.
