    Getting a rim job with income tax :)

    Well, as the title states, I'm in the market for some rims for the G as soon as income tax time rolls around. I'm leaning towards a five spoke design and I've kinda sorta decided on these rims on wheelmax(let the flaming begin). I know there are better rims out there but I'm not made of money and they'll only be on the car probably 4 or 5 months out of the year so I think I'm ok. And yes, I'm only going 17". I just wanted to make sure there should be no problems with fitment or rubbing. Also, if anyone has some photoshop skills could you post a pic of these on an 8G? Here's the link to what I'm "probably" getting.

    Yeah, just click on the picture of the wheel. I wanted to make sure everything I was getting was correct (hence the link to the shopping cart)

    You can't link other people to your shopping cart, even if you are not logged in.

    Get 18" at minimum, they won't rub and more than 17s will with the right tire size and offset.

    It's gonna look retarded anyways until I get a drop. What's the whole deal on 18's? I don't really care too much about size as much as the "look", and it's still 2 inches bigger than the stock 15's. I'm not shitting on you guys,,,I just want to know why 18 is so much better than a 17.
    EDIT: I also realize it's only another $80 to go to 18's, but add all this to a new set of cross drilled&slotted rotors from R1 concepts and some G2 caliper paint, and I'm already pushing a grand.

    because once you have the 17's on you car you'll step back and say " :smt017 hmmm I should have gotten 18's"

    Let's put it this way, I got 17s with a mild drop, and I didn't like it, once I slammed my car on coilovers, it look awesome, it depends on how much you're going to lower your car.
