I am going to buy a set of CCWs for my car within the next month or so.(may even be tommorow:smmon: ).The thing that is killing me is deciding on which rim size to go with.
PLEASE BEFORE YOU REPLY CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING( I know 18's will probally be the normal response.).
Pics of both sizes are in this thread:

the mystichrome has 18's the sonic blue has 17's
1-If I go with the 17's and a lowering it will be a lot cheaper, basically by the price of 18 inch tires(~900-1200). I could sell my rims for I would guess $400 dollars and pay for the price for the install of springs and labor. They look very nice in the pic, but I wonder if I will always wished I went with 18's? Total price will be around $1900 after all is said and done.
2- If I go with 18's it will be a lot more expensive, but look nicer? Probally get $700-800 dollars for all four of my F1's(2-7k,2-4k), a set of newer drag radials(3k), and all four rims. This will cover the price of the springs and labor plus some off the rims. Total cost will be around $2700.
Is going to 18's really worth it for the price, the 17's look just as nice, and will probally get more traction.
Please help me out, I think Im going to go crazy deciding. Also what would you ask for a set of stock rims, and the rims with all four stock tires and drag radials(all with 70% or more thread life available.
