bounce? No. Rough? Yes.

Bigger size rims won't cause ur ride bounce, but you gonna feel the ride is rougher cuz of the thiner tires.

Is ur car lowered? Do u have aftermarket shocks?
What's the road conditions around ur area?
Why u want to replace ur 17" with 18"?

Safety, of course! It is always good to increase the circumference/weight of your wheels so you don’t have to worry about driving fast.

Unfortunately, most people went 18s for looks (including me ).

If I get to buy new rims later, I'd get 18s. I just think they look better.

BTW, let's don't forget 17s and 18s actually slow down our rides.:smoker2:

That is what my entire post was about. I was just trying to be funny about the "safety." I was in no way serious!

18's make no sense to me, and the only way I would get 17's is if the weigh 15lbs like some of the Volks.
