Yeah, I can't image any benifit in getting 17's. If you are going to change, the cost will be close, the wieght is negligible, and the looks are WAY better with 18's.

Tires are a SHITLOAD cheaper. And you'll have better traction with 17's.

Having said that though, they just don't look right. Here a few pictures of them on a Sonic Blue 03 that I had saved to my computer many months ago.

Yeah, you're right, I didn't think about that. I buy quite a few of my tires from ebay with 5-7 10ths of tread left on them so they aren't expensive for me either way.

I have 17's I'll put up a link to pics when I get home from work. I went w/ the 17's cause I like to burn up my tires and 18's cost too much.

lame!! 18's are the only way to go.

sorry, I'm lame...i'm married with kids. i would prefer to get 18's but the cost of tires prohibits that. this is a daily driver and i can't spend $800 every 3 years.

looking at the pics, I don't think the 17" look that bad, i have seen worst...i do agree the 18's look better.

so the question is what is the best looking 17" rim?

xxxcobra also has 17" saleens.

as far as the best 17s....maybe some dd fr500s? or you could score some stock 03-04 cobra wheels for cheap money.

My 17's cost me $549- I dont think that is too pricy. :) ......Thank you e-bay.

I haven't seen the 17's on ebay in a while so if anyone need the name of the company jsut shoot me a PM.
