Depends, how do you plan on using the car. If you plan on taking it to the track, 15's with some sticky rubber will hook much better than 17's. If it's just mostly a street car then I'd go with 17's. Post up some pics of the car.

Looks like you already have a set of 17inch Cobra's. I'd keep those & if you want something to hook up at the track get a set of 15inch Draglites or Rodlites with some sticky tires. Use your 17's for every day use so you don't eat up the tread on a set of drag radials

Are you staying 4 Lug or going to converting to 5 lug? that will be a factor in what wheels are recommended.
