yeah just a personal preference, but big baller rims are gawdy.
This is coming from an underground hip hop / battlehop artist aswell.
Save the bling for an Suv.
with that said, the iroc wheels are worth alot, and they look very nice.
you probably don't want 14's
you can't buy a Wide tire for a 14, atleast not a good wide one.
So you should go 15's because a 16 will cost twice as much in tires, and i figure if your 16, you like to save as much as you can
15's should be your best bet.

15 are sometimes harder to get a good tire in. 16 is a more popular size and easier to get a wider varity of tire sizes and speed ratings

those are nice^, just remember 16's cost more when you buy tire's.
the smaller the size the cheaper the tire. (in most cases)

thats right, but as Mike said, 16" wheels have a much wider variety of tires than 15. i had a hell of a time finding a good tire for mine. for an extra 15 bucks a tire, i coulda had the 16" over a 15". But i dont have to pay a shop to mount, balance, and road force my tires.
Just remember this rounded corner cars ( 4th and 2nd gen) look BEST with rounded edge wheels. Square or more pointed edge cars ( kinda the 1st and 3rd gen ) look BEST with square or more pointed edge wheels. The IROCs are a good choice if your looking for a good look with out going completly bling. But American Raceing sells chromed out IROC replicas. All the way up to 20" i believe. maybe even 22" if you want to check that out
