Default I seem to remember reading that there was no performance gain with 18s v. 17s (edited)

(and they are usually heavier), but most people seem to think they look better.

i'm happy with my 17s, though

Default It's really a question of where you want to go with the car.

The general consensus among people I know is that 17" is the best for track use, you can fit big brake kits under most 17" rims and they're a bit lighter. 19" are in almost all cases heavy and not a whole lot of people track car's with 19" rims. The same pretty much for 18" although some people do. My opinion is 18". My car may see a little track use but not a whole lot, and I may be attending a day-long driving school this upcoming summer that you participate in in your own car. 18" is where I'm headed.


Quick Reply: 17's?? 18's?? 17's?? 18's?? 17's?? 18's?? 17's?? 18's?? 17's?? 18's?I just cant make up my mind
