That's gonna make them look even thinner.
I really wish I knew what the offset is on the 03-05 Stratus R/T coupe rims. Even the 17" on the Stratus R/T sedan look pretty good. But the coupe rims look great.
I'm a whore for upgrading OEM parts with other OEM parts.

NOOOOO.......
you should really do the drop first, then get the wheels... neons look good dropped on stock wheels. check with 03sxt, he has pics of his before the wheels.

I say 16" . Black (w/ polished lip) or dark gray/silver. I like the ASA EM wheels or Rota Slipstreams. 16x7 and slap on some 225-45-16 rubber. but thats my opinion... go with what you like!
