Do they look funny on your car? I have a 94 EX and a guy I know told me to go with 18's because he has 17's on his and says they look kind of small. Whats your opinion?

well 18s are too big, 17s are perfect for me, cuz theres' enough tire on them so that they wont have to be changed as much, and 18s kind of goofy if you're not going show, heavy and rough handling.

Where I live there will be more show than go. We don't have any tracks anywhere close and there are very few importers around, mostly people in the minitruck seen. I could still find a decent weighted set of 18's that wouldn't look to bad.

oh...different scene. i was going to purchase a set of rota slips due to fact c2s are quite heavy compared in 16s, for track use. a lot of racing harts and volks look ****** sweet 18''+ never had a doubt how they looked.

I really wish we had more of an import scene here. Like i said, not even a track any where close. Nothing here but a bunch of rednecks.

talk to Kazman - he's got a lightweight set of 18's available. That'll get you the best of both worlds.

hey the bigger the offset means that the rim will stick our more from the fender right? like a 42+ offset wheel will stick out more than a 40+ offset wheel?

you have that backwards - the larger the offset the farther in the wheels go
