The '03 Mitsubishi Lancer Rally Art came with 15" OZ Racing rims. They don't look very good to me on the Lancer due to the chunky 60 series tires on them. On the Metro with 195-45-15's they look a whole lot better!

I just mounted up a set of Nexen 3000 tires and so far no clearance issues on the '93 vert. Nice quiet tire too.

Nice wheel, not so nice choice of tire brand though. :)

Normally I would have purchased something better but there weren't many choices in this size. These had a 4 out of 5 star customer review and were only $265 shipped to my door so I thought what the heck. I ended up liking these so much that I bought another set for my other Metro. The handling/turn in feel and overall grip wet or dry is quite impressive for such a low cost tire. Far better then some of the costlier name brand tires I've had in the past.

Quick reply..
The 15s and bigger do look nice and I'm sure a lot less body roll.
I posted my "new" rims over in
http://geometroforum.com/topic/701184/14/
and some comments on esthetics went from there ;-)

BTW, this seems popular enough that some further organization/consolidation might be nice; maybe a post in the sticky with links to all of the related threads.
