I agree chrome deep dish. I have 18x9 in the front and 18x10 on the back. They really made the car look ALOT nicer! BTW if you're willing to pay for the rims...the tires will be cheaper than the rims. I got my 18"s shipped with tires already mounted and balanced for $1300. If I had to replace all 4 tires tomorrow, it would run me about $450.

I was just saying that 17"s are cheaper than 18"s. If you can afford the rims, you can afford the tires. DD is the way to go. Otherwise all you get is looks. With the DD you'll get better handling and traction, plus they'll look even better.

I haven't lowered my car yet, but I can tell you my 18"s don't rub at all. From what I can tell they wouldn't rub lowered either. However I have an SN95 so it could be different with yours

yeah I know...but there's no reason why he wouldn't get smaller sidewalls as well. If he gets larger rims(17' or 18") with tires that have the same size sidewalls as stock, then it would F*** up his speedo even if they didn't rub.
