Pros and cons of bigger wheels, 18" decision Options

[Nihil]

Ok, currently I got 7Jx16" wheels with 205/50R16 tires. This my winter set, but since the winter is almost over and I don't have a set of summer tires, I'm thinking about buying a second set of wheels. I fount used 8Jx18" O.Z. racing Hydra that are quite cheap, but now I want to know, how will this affect mi ride?

I've seen 6G Celicas on wheels from 14" to 19", how are your experiences with different diameters? Are 18" wheels too much, if the roads are a bit bumpy and there are some potholes and cracks and such?

I wanna hear some pros and cons that can help me decide if 18" are suitable for me Thanks

The only plus about increasing the rim size to an 18 inch is it fills in the wheel well, it all depends on the look you're going for. Drawbacks are a bigger rim increases weight (depending on the rim ofcourse -you'd have to do research on the model you like) Many people dont particularly care about weight or performance so it all depends on the route you want to go thru. Another drawback is any increase in wheel size will throw off your speedometer by a few mph. (the cluster is calibrated to the turning radius of your stock wheels) Also, keep in mind if you increase the rim size, it will raise up your car so you may need to consider saving money for the wheels, and the lowering springs all at the same time. Again it all really depends what you're going for, I'm planning on buying 16inch wheels in the future.
