Need help on rims.

Im going to be getting some new rims soon. I need some opinions on which rims would go best with my ride. first of all i have brand new tires on it now. So i hate to get rid of them. but im on the edge if a 16 inch rim would look to small or if i should go with a 17? Give me yur thoughts.
I attached an image of my car.

If your not going to do anything thing else to the exterior.

I think these will look good with the red.



Since you need tires, it's the best time to upgrade to a larger rim if so desired. OOps, you just said you already bought new tires.

Anything with a lip will appear smaller, that's a given. If you're already rocking 16's I would stray away from anything lipped.

I'm kinda thinking the first one too. I don't think I'd put a black wheel on your wagon...not with the white striping. I think it'll be too much.

I would say rim choice #3, but in silver not black, I personally dont think that anything black would clash with what you have on your ride right now.

I would go with the first set. As previously mentioned...the black may throw off the look with your white decals.
