16" or 17"?
I am possibly getting new wheels.
I have tenatively decided on 16".
17" seems to have no sidewall (35-45) and it seems the ride would be much harsher with such a narrow sidewall.
I use my car as a daily driver, not a track car.
I would prefer ride over cornering ability.
Thoughts anyone?

I loved 17's - so much so that when I put snow tires on my OEM 16s I went and bought

17's for snow too. But on a 90 16s look great and probably more appropriate. My daughter has a 90

Well, comfort will be higher with 16s, but a lot depends on the tire itself. Something like ContiSportContact2 is pretty comfy, even in size 225/45/17.
