Im not sure if i want to do this, but im planing on getting rims.

I have a white 95 hatch 6gc and thus fell that white rims would be nice or perhaps a darker gun metal type rims. I also know that i want 5 spokes. HOWEVER the only reason y i would waste money on rims is not for looks but rather for lighter rims. Thus im looking for something about 16" as anything larger ive seen is heavier. Plus i want to keep a gt4 wrc looking and not to flashy

So this is the rim requierments im looking for:
5 spoke, somehting wrc gt4 looking
16" or very light (and strong)
white or darker color with no polished lip

Pix are welcomed

Thanks in advanced.

yes with 16's you can have low profiles but its a bigger circumfrance which takes longer to accel with smaller wheels = faster accel but less top speed....larger wheels = slower accel but lager top speed ( note these differences might be very minute)

I don't want to nitpick but I also don't want the guy to get the wrong idea. the total circumference of the wheel and tire doesn't have to increase. if you get 205/40 r17's your total circumference is actually less than the stock rim/tire combo. the only other factor is weight but again you can buy lightweight 17 inch rims, mine only weigh 16 pounds a piece, and really I didn't notice a difference in acceleration than stock.
