18's vs. 17's

I know a lot of you people have 18's on here, and i am not sure what i want. I know the 18's look ALOT better on our cars. But ive heard that they can screw up the ride quality, is this true?

its louder and rougher than 17s, but lets face it - if you were all about lightweight you'd go with some 15 or 16" rotas or spoon wheels. 18s fill up the wheel well so nice, I'm really happy I didn't go with 17s

I agree 18's w 40 series tires. As for ride quality....my kyb agx adjustable shocks are so awesome. If I want the stiff bouncy ride I can have it. Or for long road trips I can turn them to soft and enjoy the ride......
