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

Before I put my rims on, I'd read threads like these before, and nearly everyone said that they wished they'd gone with 18s if they had 17s, and the people with 18s were happy. I went ahead and ordered my 17" rims though, and I love the way they look on the car when combined with my 215/40/17 tires and my 1.5" drop.
I think that bigger rims wouldn't look very good on my car now that it's dropped, but if it was stock height, then I'm guessing that bigger rims such as 18" rims would look better than my 17s. I'm definitely glad that I got my 17s, because I'm very happy with the way they make my car look.  Also, 215/40/17 is the recommended tire size for 17" rims so that the speedometer isn't off. I kind of wish that I'd gone with 45-series tires though, because the roads around here are pretty rough in spots, and I feel everything with my 40-series tires. -------------------- New Toyota project coming soon...
