spose I had better throw my hat into the ring on this.

My vote. nothing bigger than 15". The more dish the better. Every time I watch a re-run of The A-Team at home, i get a semi every time I look at the mags on the van. That thing had enough dish that you could curl up inside a sleep in there.

My project is using 13x8" watts. Not sure of the offset (+25 sounds possible), but its got an acceptable level of dish on them.

But as a lot have said, every size is cool for different reasons and each to their own. Not everyone will like what you have done, but the only one who does have to like your car is you.

14x7 0 offset, These are my SSR MK3, go well with really old school japanese car, but will set you back a bit for a decent set.

Wards. That looks alright, but its a bit early to tell, cause wheels are just one part of a package. But they are not over the top, and dont look too modern. (no dish though...)

Yeah on a 1k 4 door sedan.

As for MSdrift, It had a sad demise. the front end got mashed up, and the car is now in the possesion of Dundee1000, who is doing the right thing by it.

Now the mags on MSdrift in that photo is what Im talking about. Its that size dish where it starts to look awsome.
