Default what're you looking for? handling or appearance?

17s for the track, and for improved handling. 18s for the "show" factor. also, you're in philly, so i recommend 17s for the rough roads... more tire protection.

Superior handling benefit = RC. Better appearance = CH. Your call.

Default 2nd that but I have the RC's not so easy to clean

they get pits in between the webbing...well I guess wax and regular clean would help ;-)

The CHs get the same pits, and they are no prize to clean either. Trust me.
