    soon to be new protege owner

    I just wanted to introduce myself and say in few day i will be buying a 1994 protege and i cant wait being that it is in better condition than my current car. I plan on using this car for auto x and im a pretty aggressive driver. I plan on buying ZX2 struts and the H&R springs for the mx3. What i dont know is if i should get a 15in wheel or 16in i looked through the forums but didnt really find anything that gave a preference to a size, and i think i will run some Falken Azenis tires as alot of you guys seem to like them. So if someone could me help decide on a size it would be really appreciated.



    (edit) i know there is a wheel and tire forum but i figured i would get a better answer in this forum.

    Personally I like 15 inch rims but it all depends on your tastes

    This is kind of offtopic but which engine does it have?

              I like the 15s because you get good performance but they're still really comfortable.

                  not to mention the tires are cheaper for 15's, the tires weigh less for 15's, and if you crack one it's cheaper to replace a 15
