RIms

hey guys im looking for some new rims on a tight budget

ideally i want 17's etc. but i am worried about ongoing low profile tire costs

so

if i got 14's for a gen 2, would it even be worth it? im concerned that with the style i want (many thin spokes, chromey) that it iwll just look unneccassary

i want beg rims and little tires but cant afford that

if i went to 15's or 16's what kind of tires would i need , medium affordable ones or lows again (particularly 16 as they would be big enough)

also, if u get a tire that has a DIFFERENT outside diameter, eg 16's with big 16's tires, obviously my speedo will be out

even if i get it calibrated, will the car be slower or faster

obviously it has to rotate less to go same distance, so rpm's wil be a lower, but will it be sluggish

or do you avoid different sizes all together and ensure the outer tire is the same

therefore
a) will 14's be worth it so i can keep my tires
b) will 16's if not 15's need low expensive tires
c) is it bad to change outer size (ie 16's with bigger tyres not lows)

thx guys
