I see alot of 15s, 17s, and bigger rims. Rarely do I see 16s on the Novas. Just curious on your opinion on why the lack of 16s. Thanks

I was thinking of running 16x8s in the rear and 16x7s or 8s if they fit in the front. Probably wont. I really like theses:

I've seen some 16" rallys a couple of times, but you seem to be right, not many others.
For me a 17" is as big as I would go on a 3d gen. 15" seems more 'classic' style with a taller profile tire. A 16" is not quite a low profile tire or 'big rim' style but not quite that classic look - kind of a halfway point. I guess most would rather have the 'big' or 'small'.

The tire selection for the 16 inch wheel is limited compared to the 15 and 17.
