need you opinions on wheels

[03redfiregt]

OK i need some help deciding on wich size wheels to get. I am going to be getting a set of black bullitts over the winter but i cant decide if i want to get them in 17x9 or 18x9. ????

17x9 will have cheaper tyre options. 18" tyres generally are more expensive.

nobody? come on

18x9 if you can afford the extra $ for rubber...

18s

17's if you more 'drag'
18's if your more 'carving'

17's are more ideal if you are into handling, 18's are more for looks and heavier too.

could be arugable, but 18's have a better sidewall to wheel size ratio to achive a closer stock overall diameter

My 18x9's weigh a little less than 26lbs. each. Also my tires weigh less than 17" tire (less rubber).

Going from 17's to 18's handling characteristics got much better.. Launch went downhill tho.
