    17's or 18's

    Guys i was wonderin if their was much of a difference in looks btwn an 18 in rim and a 17 in rim. I was planin on buying rims, and the price difference btwn 17's and 18's is about $500 to $600. So i was wonderin if its really worth spending the extra $500 just for another inch.

    Let me kno your opinion.

    And if possible post pics of your own rims, 17's and 18's

    Thanx

    It all depends on what your goin for...

    If your loking for a nice lightweight wheel with moderately good looks go with the 17s. If you want to go strictly for asthetics then go with the 18s. I personally got 18s and think they look much better than 17s and plus you can find some nice lightweight 18s also.

    O ya...u can difinitely tell the difference between a 17 and a 18!!! Save up and get the 18s!!

    IMO it depends on what kind of rims are they
    some rims look beter in 16 than in 18!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    also on some cars 17's may look bigger than 18's ....... untill u see that they are actualy 17's

    it also depends where u live, like my area doesn't has real good roads so I went 17 and not 18 or 19

    i have 18's and they are tooo small for me now... moving up to 19's.

    one thing to keep in mind is tires cost more too the bigger you go. average zr rated 18" tires cost $175+ each mounted and balanced.
