I am looking at buying some Volk Racing GT-V wheels and am wondering what is a good size wheel for a '01 GS?
Here is a pic of the wheels:

Other than stock size. The wheels come in 17", 18", or 19".

Stock is 16"s on that car. Get 18s, Ive got em on my 3G and they fit good. Even when lowered.

I agree with Dusty 18" are fine I tried my friends 19" and they are just too big 18" all the way

Yea I was kinda leaning toward 18" too. Just wanted someone else's opinion before i went and ordered them.

18's are good. It has enough side wall flex for handling... 17s will handle a little better because of more sidewall flex... but unless your on the track every weekend... dont bother.
