would you roll on 17's or 18's?

uh... no?

whatever size wheel came stock on the car is probably what's best for it in terms of performance.... barring a bigger engine or something radical....

Car modifications are worthless. I would rather invest my money in a vanguard mutual fund.

what are you going to do with all your money saved up?
if you are saving up to spend it later, why not spend it now? and enjoy life.

for a sedan with 16's/17's alrdy.

It depends on the car. On some, 18's are too big, and on others, like my new GTO, they're perfect. The ride isn't bad at all.

Will these wheels increase my winter handling or gas mileage? If not I'll pass. :p

My car came stock with 17s, but the wheel wells are enormous and make the wheels look small. 18s look small, too. 20s fill up the gaps, but they just don't look good on the car.

Maybe 19s... But those are rare.

18"x7.5 BBS RG-R wheels only weigh 19lbs each. :Q

Put 17s on the left side and 18s on the right. This will level the car out on crowned roadways.

I have 17's on my car.. they ride fine (and my car is lowered too)
18's the tires are too expensive, and they are too big for a smaller sized car.
