I'd hold out for the size you really want. You'll just end up regretting it later.

I think so, when you put the gfx on it takes larger wheels to look good. I noticed that on my last Camaro. I really wish I had 18's myself.

But of course I still think the 17's would look good, especially since they have thinner spokes.

2Poor4Z is an unknown quantity at this point
$200 better aint gon cut it..

youll end up spending about another $200 extra or so on tries probably.. 18" tires are considerably more expensive than 17" tires.. usually

but i agree 18"s are better..

but i also hate those wheels..

What wheels are you talking about? I think a staggered look would look good. 18" on the back and 17" on the front.

I say 18s. Neither one of the rims in those 2 auctions will fit your car. They are the wrong bolt pattern. The 17s are off of a grand am and are 5x114. The 18s say 5x115, but I'm sure they are 5x114 also. You need 5x120.
