Just put my 18's on today!!

I just today finally got my wheels on today..after having to walk by them for about a week (don't ask). I guess I just wanted to say that I am extremely happy with the way they look. The difference in ride is so minimal that I can't see not going with a bigger wheel....the cosmetic difference is shocking. I took some pics today and hopefully will get them developed soon and post them. My wheels are JSA JS5 18x7.5 with Dunlop 215/40/18's on them. I got them from tire rack.
If anyone is questioning whether or not to go with 18's.....don't even think about it...DO IT!!! I think I would be extremely unhappy with 17's at this point. I have my stock suspension still and probably will not drop the car. Anyway...just a post for those of you who were up in the air on 17's or 18's...seems like there are quite a few. Peace....

Humm cool yeah the price difference on the 18's has made me think twice and my roads here are bad and it rains 9 mths out of the year or more so 18's wouldn't be the thing here. But yeah I definately wanna check out those photos, friends of mine have had 18's and dropped accords and civics and they complained about the cost of tires all the time so they sold their rides and just went to other cars but I hope things work better for ya.

I think a guy can run 35 series tires OK. You definetely need to be more aware of the road when driving though. I would go with 40 series just for the little extra padding though. Just an opinon. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]
