I'm looking at getting some new wheels and not sure which size I want to get. 16" are cheaper but I don't know if 17" would look better. Also which ones fit better?

I don't disagree with the looks aspect of an 18, but you must admit that a negative handling change occurs when going from 16 to that.

sr666, I'm pretty sure the reason why most people disagree with you that 18s don't look good on our cars is mainly because compact tuner cars are meant to be with smaller wheels like 15s-17s. Lol. But hey. Our Celica does have it's luxurious side so 18s do fit perfect with our cars also. It's just all self preference. I understand where you're coming from. the 18s covers the wheel well just perfect but then again you can do the same with smaller wheels with bigger sidewalls.
