I am looking at some Eagle wheels...What size, (17" or 18") are most people running? Just curious what works best and looks best!
Thanks,
Brett

wtf
who says? If you upsize the way you should then you can slam it just as much with 18's.

The real question is...
Can you afford 18" tires? These are what's gonna make the most difference in the long term...

I agree. I could have got a set of chrome 077s for only $30 more per wheel, but it was the $60 extra per tire that I really didn't feel like spending.
Sure it may not sound like much, but it would have brought my rim/tire pacakge from $1,900 (CAD) to $2,260 (CAD) and I only had $2,000 to spend.

If you don't plan on getting lowering springs, I wouldn't go higher than 17's. 18's would make your car look raised.
Since I run a size wider (235/45/17) my sidewalls are slightly bigger (~0.5"), giving the illusion of being lowered.

onequick....i've got a pic further down in this forum.they don't have em in 18's yet,even though if they did i don't think i would just because i'm not tryin to plunk down too much change for the tires.
