the style of the rim doesnt matter. Just dont get taller than 17s, and like i said 10.5s in the rear is overkill and will only slow you down.

Thats what he ment by deepdish, 10.5

Honestly, I say get the 10.5 if you can, they look better IMO and doesnt add THAT much weight.

Shadow is wrong! Get deep dish. They will not slow you down enough that you will notice at all. What they will do is significantly improve your handling and GREATLY improve your launch. More rubber on the road=more traction. Plus, they just look a whole lot better. Also 17" is a good rim size, but 18" is fine too.

BTW...I'm not just guessing about that. I have 18x10" rims on the back of my car and I really noticed a performance upgrade.
