17s or 18s ????????
Im trying to decide between some 17s & 18s. Im not sure what will look better and if I was wondering how much I can drop the car I will know i have to remove the mud guards but that doesn't matter.[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

Rep Power: 420 I'de go for 17's myself. 17's with a little more rubber than usual. Kinda fill out the wheel well a little more. Then a drop of course. I think it has the best combination of looks and performance. That is if you get a reasonably light wheel.

Rep Power: 307 Well, I know we all have tons of money, but I got the 17's to save on some tires in the future. Kinda saves more money for the turbo (some day, my HKS will come....) With the Sportlines on, I have been totally happy.

Go with 18" it will look better. You can also drop the car 2"

Rep Power: 0 Just weigh the pro's and con's
18's - make u slower (but not by much...believe me!)
they look nicer
tires are slightly more expensive
Ride might suffer
17's - Cheaper
Still look kinda nice
Tires a bit cheaper
Ride still might suffer just a bit
Ride and speed suffer regardless from goin from 15's to 17's or 18's
Make your own choice. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

Rep Power: 0 No matter what they say...size does matter to the ladies... They love the 18's! The only problem is their performance leaves alot to be desired.
Pure looks=18's
A little more performance, but also looks=17's

Rep Power: 0 i have 18's and i wish that i would have gotten 19's!!! but as for performance 17's and 18's are just fine 18's look nicer and you can find some that don't weight much at all!!! think about it yea mustangs have more power but they run with 18's too. just b/c they're bigger doesn mean they weigh more!! 18's all the way!!!
