ROTA Grid's in 16" or 17"

I'm looking into purchasing a set of Rota Grids (16" +40 Offset 67.1 hub bore). I thought I saw a black gen 1 cooper S with the bronze set on it, which looked amazing, but I cant find it now. If anyone can post that, it'd be awesome.

My current suspension setup is Koni Yellows/H-Sport Springs with the awfully heavy "s-lites". Are 16's gonna look goofy? I'm going to get some 205/45/16 GeForce tires, unless there's a better suggestion.

Thanks in advance for any help or guidance!!!



My car.

205/45 is going to look real small when paired up with 16s, because it in fact is quite small.

I also think 205/45-16 would look goofy. Why not 205/50-16?

205/50/16 ORDERED!!

Thanks for the advice. I was real hesitant when I ordered the 205/50/16 (Nitto NeoGen's), just because I have always owned 45's (then again, that was on a dumped '96 Jetta), but after much debate I got the 50's.

I ended up going with Konig Feathers in GOLD!, the rims and tires mounted and shipped was only $789 from discounttiredirect.com.
