Hey guys...I can't decide whether to go w/ 17 or 18'' wheels. Please give me your input on this matter! Thanks.

I don't think that the rim size really has much to do with how much slower the car will be. What the big difference will be is the weight of the rim. Our celicas stock rims(the 5 star 15's) are very light. Keep the weight of rims in mind when you're shopping around for them. I have 215/40/18's for tires and they work very well for me. They just give me that little extra rubber to protect from all the road problems people have with low pro tires. |
