i chose to go with 17s cuz i've heard of people having problems w/18's on their car... and i'm not one to look for problems + how much of a difference can you see between 17s and 18s ???

just my .02 though

btw, i do like the ones w/10 spokes better emoji

I have 7 spokes in 17's in basically the same design on my black RS. Mine are the HP Typhoons from WheelMax but I got them for like $998 w/ rubber a year ago. I'll see if I can't get some pics of it for you in the next day or so.

IMO, if the price is right, step it up to 18's. I know I wish I would've now. 17's were okay .. before my drop. Now I wish I had a little more wheel to hug the insides of my wheel wells.

Get 19s. They are pimp. And to whoever said you cant drive on 19s obviously hasn't done it. I daily drive on 19s, hit potholes all the time and still haven't messed up a rim or tire.

On a side note: my 19s will be up for sale in a few months, I'm upgrading to something a little bigger.

i would say 18's but I couldnt afford the tires on them.

I have 17's, and they dont look that big.

I hate alot of spokes, and 7 is too much for me. I like 5 spoke. But those 7's are nice

I got banned for being a constant tard.
