need opinions on rims 17s or 18s?

Gonna be buying rims and tires off of wheelmax.com in the next few days but need some help here. How slow will 18s slow down my holeshot compared to the 17s?

What does eveyone suggest i go with?

Thanx Eric

the size of your rims doesn't have a significant impact on your speed/performance

depending on the size of the tires you might get a little bit of rub with the 18s. 18s are what i am going with.

Re: need opinions on rims 17s or 18s?

personally i'd get 17's with fat tires for a nice smooth ride and not a bad look.. IF your car is dropped.. if not get 18's.. uhh as far as holeshot goes.. you will see a difference between stock rims and 17/18s but between 17 n 18.. its really about the look and the ride quality

17's look entirely too small on the car as well. 18" wheels fit the wheel well quite nicely and the car will look badass lowered and inch or 2. good luck.
