What do you guys think?

I am ready to order these wheels and wanted some opinions. I think they are a real nice looking wheel and will style with the cl nicely.

I'm still all about the RO_JA Motegi Formula 5 wheels.

Im just going with 17's. I was going to go with 18's but the roads around here are terrible. I dont want to lose my ride quality anymore than I have to or bend a rim. I do think 18's would look alot better though.

DAMN IT, Im so tired of people being pussys and buying 17s

1. 18s handle better
2. 18s look better
3. everytime you go to a meet trying to show off your new rims (which is cool, everybody does it) some guy (like me) is going to park right next to you, and your exact words will be.........

"Shit, I shoud have gotten 18s"

I hope I have helped you

This is right....I was gonna get 18's but first it was the $, next if you get 18s you need to get 35 b/c of the diameter, also you get rugher ride with 18s with 35. and if you get it with 40s then you can't lower it as much....so, I went with 17s and I don't regret it.

Pussy? Whatever man. I drive a half hour to work everyday on shitty ass rodes. I enjoy a smooth ride, and enjoy spending $300 on tires more than $600 on tires anyday

you'll have to actually paint that bumper first. .. unless you're trying to save weight that paint would contribute :sqnteek:

i got an comment, the only thing that bigger rims do is slow your car down, attract more attention to it.. which means its much more likely that you'll find the shit up on blocks one morning.. and what the hell are you talking about.. 18's handle better.. lol.. the hell kinda sense does that make.. get some 15" rims or 16" rims.. and slam it to the ground

Thanks Rick, I think they will too. As for clac225, you have issues. Who are you to get on here and calling us pussies and flipping us off and for what,wanting/having 17's. We all know what 18's look like, thats what the gallery is for. I asked for opinions, not to be scalded for my choice. If your going to be an asshole, Im sure they have forums for that. Maybe you should go there, you'll fit right in.

YO!!!!! 18's make your car slower first off and for those who drive alot, such as me (1000miles a week) 17's are a much better choice. Yes 18's look better and handle better, but i have 17's and they look good enough and drive awesome. Not being negative just givin opinion. I would have 18's if i didn't have to drive to school everyday 120 miles away and also if i had an h22. Other then that screw em! its all show no go!

Exactly, I drive 70 miles a day. Why give up comfort for looks when your moving down a highway and noone can tell anyways. Sorry f0de, I dont know of any. But Ill be sure to keep an eye out

Those look great and i totally understand the 17s thing. I cant really afford either now but i think i would settle on 17s funds permitting. I drive a lot as you can see in my sig and after i drop my car the ride is going to be worse im sure so 18s would make it really rough although they look better. But like you said, you are driving and no one can tell Make sure you post pics
