    In the end, you buy what you want. I'd get 17's though.

    to post pics use the following format:

    8g tranny is being rebuilt and waiting on ground control coilovers
    7g is just sitting motor and tranny is out(need to finish, just lazy)
    6g (vr4) motor is out getting the good stuff like a gt4088 and some more stupid stuff.
    Nice to be back!!!!

    Ooh nice choice. I went 17 for a couple reasons: tires are less expensive, they are lighter, more forgiving, and still clear my BBK.
