i had 18's on mine and it really didnt look that bad, just IMO that rims style doesnt look good on the car. but i had a friend who had 19" racing hart S15's on his fc and it didnt look too bad they just lifted the car too much and rubbed the front fender on big bumps.

18's are awesome, best size for Rx7's (wouldnt go any bigger though), 16s and 17's look dinky. If you dont like the STYLE of the rim, thats a different thing.....

Dont listen to the haters.....if you can afford nice 18's, get em. All it takes is one trip around the main area of Sevenstock and you will soon realize how weak 16's and 17's look....

agreed 18's are the best for looks but performance wise i have to agree that 17's are the best but ill still sacrifice the small performance loss for the looks

That's my opinion too, but wheels are very personal to people so congrats to the original poster for finding something he likes.

Here was how my car looked with 300zx 16x7.5 wheels:




Soon it will have BBS 3 piece 16's like on this car:
