17 or 18 inch wheels?
I am looking to get new wheels. I will use my car on the track (but use street tires), and of course on the street. Since I live in NYC and drive through potholes in NY and NJ I am leaning towards 17's instead of 18's.
Price difference is minimal.
What do you suggest, 17's or 18's?
BTW I am getting the Flik Lex wheels.

18s...
Just installed 18s last night.
I live in North Jersey and commute to Upper East Side.
Get a set of strong 18s. The potholes in NYC are huge and deep. I just drive carefully and try to avoid them. IMO, 17s will not survive if you hit one of them.

He doesn't have to choose between weight savings and size....
if he's willing to spend some money. Stock 17 weighs near 27 pounds, right? I just ordered forged 19s that weigh considerably less. Will handle better with low profile tires, looks good, weighs less... I say again, what are your questions?
