I don't know what i should go for 17s or 18s. I kinda want the 18s cus of the looks and everything but then i heard from store ppl that 18s will be a rough ride, and going over rail roads is gonna be sh*tty, and might warp, but it just looks better than 17s....
17s have better performance i heard.

any suggestions guys??

I have 17" Maxxim Guilt's and it's not a bad ride. I'm sitting on stock suspension which i need to change but can't afford it yet. I don't have to worry about every hole and bump in the road and here it CT the roads r horrible. My buddy has 18's on his eclipse and the ride is so much stiffer then my 17's u can feel every little bump but it looks real good. so I guess if ur careful 18s isn't a bad choice.

What do YOU want performance or looks...hell if you think it looks better go for the 18" what the hell do you care about performance are u going to drift or auto cross??

Well first of we don't know what kind of car you drive. Sedan or Coupe? etc..
And we don't know what kind of Look or Style that you are looking for.

I wants look and performance at the same time. but i know that's gonna be hard so, i am still thinking.
and i am driving a coupe. i want to do some body work after some rims, and then move on to performance mods.
i want some thing like these... or the tenzo r's dc-5, i am not sure if they make it for my car tho... hahaa

I had 17's with a 205/45/17 tire and a 2 inch drop all around for about 4 years. It wasnt to bad of ride, other than feeling every bump in the road. I personally think 18's with a drop will be WAY to big and harsh of a ride. I actually just ordered 16in. wheels with a 205/50/16 inch tire this week and i should have them here by Friday. So from personal experience I would go with the 17's if you must.

i have 17s with 215/40 tires...still on stock suspension but cant say there is any differnce in the ride with my new wheels compared to the stock wheels. I really havent noticed any differnce at all. too bad once i drop it it will feel like i got no shock absorption at all =[ lol....but i heard there are some springs maybe only for hondas/acuras, and the ride is very good. Any idea what they are called...my friend told me but i didnt catch the name heh..
