i have 17s..i kinda wish i went with 18s when i look at it sometimes but i love my car and the way it looks

unless you get light weight rims your gonna notice n feel a lil less acceleration from your car

but the tire slipage is gone almost for me. i have to try to make them spin or burn out. in first gear i can floor it and nothing, if im racing and go from first to second my tires to slip or nothing

IMO it's all about looks cuz the only time speed maters is on the track so why not sacrifice a bit of accel on your street car

17's and 18's are the same diameter rim, tires are just smaller on the 18's

Maybe im old-school, but i think 17's look better. And plus, they offer better perf., traction,(because of taller sidewall that is still the correct hieght for cornering and you say you can get 10.5's rear) and gas milage.
