i am torn between getting 17" and 18" wheels

what are others' opinions?????

: If I had to do it over again, I would put 16" on. I now have 17" wheels. I lowered it with Eibach Pro-Kit springs ( which you will have to do if you put on larger diameter wheels, unless you like the body on high look. Like a lift kit on a 4-wheel drive) The ride was good with the stock wheels and lowered with the Eibachs and Bilstein Sports. A much harsher ride with the 17" wheel change. Plus the 16" tires are a little bit cheaper, if that matters.
