In Reply to: Are 17" rims too heavy for 318? Won't extra wt. posted by degrade handling and acceleration? on September 02, 2001 at 18:00:44:

It was one of the first upgrades I got. The 318 had 17"s before the engine conversion and the supercharger. 17" rims are well worth the money. It improves handling and increases safety in the wet.

Just make sure they're 7.5 so you can fit 235 tires at the front. You can put 8.5 on the rears if you want the 255 rears, but that might be a little too much for a NA 318.
