They both look good. Go with the top one's expecially if u upgraded the brakes, and there 18's. The bottom one isn't bad either.

I'd go for the 17s 'cause of the gear ratio, but, hey, it's your pick!

I like 18's but I dont like spending 200$ a tire on a shitty dunlop.

So here are my wheels. I still have no real pics of them yet because Boostaholic broke our win98 computer so I cant DL pics off the digi cam. But these are the wheels from Japan I got in 17x8 and 17x9. And yes they look ill with my brakes.

i'd say go all out, and put the 17's in your front and the 18's in the back now that would look nice...Just kidding...I like the 18's better...If you're going for looks go for the 18's...They're also attractive when it spins. I know someone with similar rims...Looks sweet!

I really like the clean look for the 240's. &nbsp;So for looks I'd go for the 18's, the style is better. &nbsp;

But performance is bigger in my book then looks, so I would personally go for the 17's. &nbsp;Pros and cons.

&quot;All show no go&quot; is still and improvement over &quot;no show, no go&quot; &nbsp;That is of course if it looks good (and yours does my240).

teamcapsule, i like the style of the top rims alot more, but it really comes down to what size rims you want, and what kind and how much for tires to fit them.
Figure out which tires you want and that may help u decide on the rims.

The problem with 17&quot; wheels is that they're hard to find on a stager setup like WeST 17x8 for the front and 17x9 or 9.5 for the rear... unless they're $500+ a wheel. In less expensive wheels (that a broke áss like myself can afford) 18's come with more choices of width.
Our cars look awesome with stager setups, especially 97-98's.
I'm getting the TRMotorsports Typhoon in 18x8 front and 18x9 (with a more pronounced lip) in the back... here's a photoshopped pic, except that my car is green <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

8's will fit easily, but I think 8.5's or 9's might could be stuck under there, too. &nbsp;I know 9's will fit on the S14.
