I think 18" with rubberband tires is on the ricey side. My 205/40/17 doesn't have enough tire, i should've gotten 215/45/17. You're in for a bumpy ride...

IMO...17" rims are more realistic...with either 205/45-17 or 215/40-17

If your a daily driver...this makes more cense

I agree. i think 17's are perfect for our car. with 18's, you'd probably end up spending a whole lotta money replacing your tires.

my cars a daily driver in the ghetto streets of LA, i have 18s and havnt bent them yet. i drive pretty crazy and hit a few potholes but everythings fine. and as for "with 18's, you'd probably end up spending a whole lotta money replacing your tires", not really... why would you have to replace 18s more then 17s? i know they cost more but probably only like $150 more for 4. and i have a 30k mile warranty on mine anyways so. but ya i got slightly thick tires, 215-40-18 compared to 215-35-18. i just figured better to have thick tires then a bent rim. i dunno i think 17s are to small, i like rims that stand out. i always wanted 19s but couldnt afford them at the time.
