I've purchased a 1995 325i BMW, and I've added performance parts and I'm ready for rims. But I'm in a huge bind. I don't know what size to get. 18's or 17's? I feel if I get 18's I have to drive more carefully, and with 17's I think I can just lower my car, I'll be saving money, and be able to drive a little less careful. THEN, should I get Chrome or Alloy. Chrome is more expensive, but I like the way Chrome looks, and Alloys look Good too. LET ME KNOW...what you think, or let me know what you've done. PLEASE...Thanks

Well, I'm looking for flashy, kinda. I've seen around San Jose, CA where i live that there are a lot people with chrome on there BMW's. I've noticed on online pictures, people perfer Alloy and it really looks flashy, european style. I don't plan to do anymore performance, but you think if I go with 17's they should be alloy and lower it with eibach springs. With chrome do you think I should drop it an inch or two? Thanks!
