New wheels

BLUE91GT · July 16th, 2011, 03:56 PM

So I am having a hard time deciding between 17" and 18" wheels. I am going with chrome 10th Anniversary Cobra Wheels. I would really appreciate some help deciding between the two. For you guys that have 18" wheels, do you regret going that big in any way? I will get the deep dish wheels as I like the lip.

Thanks Mark

I have 18's and have zero regrets. I love them I think they fit the car perfectly with the right tire and drop. The only drawback is the cost of tires is a bit higher. But to me its worth it.

You can't go wrong with 18s.

If theyre going on the Fox in your sig, Id go 17

17's front 18's on rear

18" look so good on these cars, only thing is tire prices. If you do a full set of good tires, itll run you over $1000.

Matt86 · July 17th, 2011, 09:10 PM

The tire cost is what kept me from 18s. If your budget can swing it, thats what I would do.
