ok, whoever votes for 19inch or even 20inch is just plain retarded
depends.... 18's look a whole lot better than 17's on a New Edge stangs, but they do have their downfall's. They're heavier, the ride can be a bit worse and in some cases tires are more expensive.
However, I'm still switching from my 17's to 18's when i get home
Sometimes it really depends on the style of the rim, some look better if different sizes. However after pondering back and forth with wheel size and style. I went with 17's, 17x9/17x10.5 . I honestly don't think 18's handle dramatically different then 17's with a nice tire on them. Cornering to me comes from the tires and the suspension, and understanding how to drive right. The 17's look alittle small with the stock suspension, but when dropped they tend to look bigger then they are. Plus I'd rather save some cash on tires for 18's.
Traction is key for drag racing and that's what I'm about
17" wheel with the gap and the fat tires out the back.
18" x 10" (305's Nitto's run $294) smaller tire
17" x 10.5 (315's Nitto's run $191)
I guess I'm not ballin as hard as some of you yet.... I'm only 22

in general..
18's are heavier (unless you get a more expensive rim)
18's are better for handling while 17's are better for hooking because more side wall
18" tires cost a hell of a lot more
18's are rougher of a ride than 17's
for me i went with 18's 18x10, 18x9 saleens. but i am going to switch to 15" prostar or telestar when my tires wear out
if you want traction for the track buy some used 15" rims w/ mickey thompson's. Then the other 98% of the time you can enjoy the stlye of 18's and not have to burn off that expensive rubber as you pointed out at the track
