16X6 are easy to find, relatively cheap, look great, don't require ANY modification to the fenders.

I would not bother with 16X7 Fuchs...

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) I went through this same decision a few years ago, ended up with 16x6's and 205/50, of course my car was already painted...

Too late guys, already made the decision, and agreed to buy the 16 x 7's.

Here are the 16x7's on my car before flares. They have 215/45's at the time on all 4 corners. Rear lips were shaved but not pulled. Cleared with no problems (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Yup, I like that look.....but my cars not red, will they still fit (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif)

The 7's have more depth....I like that.

I can feel a road trip brewing....... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)

Excellent, more for me. If anyone has some that don't fit I'm looking for a spare set for dedicated autocross tires.

I think they are going up in price. They are the wheels people want to customize & make wider. They will be getting harder to find as time goes on. Better hold on to your stash Rob (IMG:style_emoticons/default/evilgrin.gif)
