    15's are going to look way too small unless you plan on going with some big ass balloon tires. Also be sure they'll clear your brakes.

    There's a guy on here with a yellow Protege 5 that has some 16x8 XXR's and it looks pretty good. I believe his name is something like OG Skater.

    Pretty sure 16" is as small as you can go with clearing the brakes, don't quote me on it though, even 16"s look dumb on a 3 though..

    Protégés can pull off smaller wheels but 3's can't.

    MZ3s can fit 15's as thats what some came stock, MS3s can't because of the front brakes

    Only the 2.0 sedans can fit 15s.. or should.

    Ever see a MS3 holding 16s? The brake calipers are so close it can knock off weights and just be a threat to the wheel and brakes themselves.

    If done correctly, and you're serious about enkei meshies, you can pull off 16s on a 3,
    15s however not a chance.

    Also agree that 16's can look really nice

    Yes, that's what he's saying.

    That's what I was looking for but I couldn't find his thread \

    not the best look, 17s I still say are best, 18s can look good, 19s are just way to big...

    But yeah, just look in that wheel well there, look how close the caliper is to the wheel.. it's scary.
