between your choices i would go w/ 17's.. they won't be as heavy, tires are cheaper than 18's, the rims should be a little less, and its big enough to look good.. personally i would stick w/ 15's or get 16's.. but that isnt what you asked..so between your choices i would get 17's...

If you're concerned with weight I'd drop down to a 16" wheel. Going to a larger, heavier wheel will slow you down.

i found 18" to suck way to much power from the car, 17's aren't bad, but the best for all out street power is 15"

If that is a concern of yours.

depends what you want to do, if this is going to be a show car, 18's will get you more points, but the smaller you go, the more power you will conserve, 16's are a good midrange tire for power and looks, but if looks are what you want, go 17's or 18's, i wont stop ya.

I got 18's and my car is dropped right on top of them w/ Koni coilovers. It looks really nice but it did slow up the car a decent amount, especially the bottom half of 1st gear!
