well im not to big of a fan for C2's... however, its all you, i dont think they are bad. but god luck... 18's would look good
here are some 17s


I dont think 17's look bad with out a drop, but , of course a drop is always good. thats what i am waiting for.... But if you are looking for lightweight and speed then you want to get smaller rims...

18s RH C2 that would look hella tight, 17 will be lil small i know it wont make me happie, ill go with 19s instead of 18s, but for tires im currently on 225\40 you will rub, so i say go for 215/40/18, or if you like get 35 series it will look better but less rubber.

if your concerned about the daily drive i would get 17's. imo, 18's are too big. when i get rims i'll be getting 17's.

if you got the cash go for 18" wheels, and for rubber - why not be brave and put 225/40-18, or 225/35/-18 either one you might experience some rubbing, but just trimm your wheel well out alittle bit, it will never hurt anything. You will be glad you did every time you look at those big *** 18 sitting on your car.
