Well.. 15" looks funny due to the high tyre profile of ES, ie. 195/60/15.. 17" is too heavy, slow down the car and tyre profile is thin, ie. 205/45/17, easy to lose it if not experienced.. 16" is actually perfect, ie. 205/50/16, go balance of looks and grip.. Which is why the base Rex comes with 205/50/16..

In an ideal world, i will definitely go for 17 or even 18 inch....but in the real world where i'm constrained financially.....i stick to 15.
Hatred isn't something you're born with,it gets taught. At 7 years of age, you get told it enough times, you believe it, You believe the hatred. You live it,you breathe it,you marry it.

You are right.........go with your pocket.........I wish I can buy a Tyre R or something else faster, But since Pocket not deep enough.........settle for a ES5........
