CL on 17's

Hey does anyone have some pics of their CL on 17's? I don't know that 18's are worth the extra $$$

I don't get what the big thing about 18s are. Bigger size decreases acceleration...Plus they cost a butt load more. 17s are the perfect medium b/t speed and style...

Bad pic, but they're 17's. I broke a 17 in wheel on a pot hole.

Couldnt imagine a 18.

Lookin good. What do you mean a lip? Hey is there a difference in 215 v 225 on the tires? 17's just seem to be the way to go for me... it isn't worth 1" for all that $$$.

I originally had 17's, then moved up to an 18. I was very pleased with the result. Plus, my 2.3 wasn't fast to begin with and the weight difference between what I had was about 1lbs. Also the difference in price between 17 and 18 was $250, so, I didn't consider it a butt load of money either.

Either way you go, you will be happy with the result.

I searched for some time and got my 18s (wheels/tires/lug nuts/shipping) for only $100 more than the same package in 17s. Less than $1200 shipped through: www.whalentire.com

JamzCL - those are actually some of the rims that I really like. Do you have any more pictures of them on your car? Also, I didn't see a drop kit on your description, are you just runnin' stock shock? Looks good man...
