215/45 will look more thinner from the side view. 50's will look a bit thick...whichever is your preference. keep in mind of the road conditions that are in dallas. lots of potholes? if so, id go with 50 so you dont risk bending your wheels

I had a set of Konig's with 215/45/17's mounted, and the sidewall was so thin that I bent 2 of the rims! Also, the ride was horrible. Go with the 50's and you'll be much happier!

i have 45's right now and well....i can't really compare it with the 50s b/c ive never rode on 50s before but i can imagine it being more quieter and softer. 45's look good with a drop from the side view though! =oD
