does anyone have any pics of an S13 fastback with 18 inch wheels on it.  i was wondering how the look and handle or should i just stick with getting 17s?  any info would help.  thanks!!!

Looks wise the 18" usually are better.  But from a performance stand pont 17" usually are lighter and allow more rubber.

I'd stick with 17" there are a ton of great rims to choose from.

I am going w/ a 16'' to cut weight over my stock 15'', to gain more rubber while not having to deal w/ camber issues, and so I don't have to break the bank everytime I need new tires. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'>

Maybe if I could score some Graham Lites for like 250 a peice I would go w/ 17s but I can't so I won't <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/cry.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':cry:'>

well i have 18's on my car and i think the ride isn't bad since i have gotten new struts and my springs on. &nbsp;I like the look of the 18's alot more yes there is less tire but you get better handling with them than 17's. &nbsp;And my 18's with tires are lighter than my stock wheels with tires. &nbsp;So i guess you can make your own decision. &nbsp;I have pictures on my web page check my profile for the link and you can see my car. those pictures are before i lowered it
