Is it a waste of money to get BBS CH 17s? I just bought tires, so was thinking to use em on 17s...

but not sure if anyone would buy 17s anymore... although for performance I believe they'd be better as they are 5lbs lighter.

How does it look? STFA and haven't found any 17" CH pics?! Anyone's got any?

Do 18's look better, yes. Do the 17's look better than stock Avus wheels, yes.

Default 18's look better.
Also cost more (and so do the tires), heavier so perform slightly worse, more prone to road hazard bends and costly repairs. How are the roads where you live? How is your wallet? What is important to you?
