Chrome Iroc Wheels

I am looking for someone who has 16X8 chrome iroc wheels on their 3rg gen. Are you happy with the appearance? Reason being: I want to buy these wheels but i want to make sure i buy the right size wheel. So will i be making a mistake on not buying the 17" wheels. Reason why i am not jumping into the 17's is becasue my tires are almost brand new and they are 16's and i dont want to have to buy new wheels unless i absolutly feel that i have to. Any help such as pictures and comments will be greatly appreciated.

I'm not really a fan of the chrome on Iroc rims, it takes away from the lines I think, but that's not really the question is it.

I'd go with 17's. I understand the tire issue, but in the long run, I think you'd kick yourself for not buying the 17's. Now I'm not against the look of 16's, I happen to love my stock Iroc rims, but don't keep'em just because of the tires.

If you're tires are in good condition, you can easily sell them.
