Default Keep them, or get something else?

So I borrowed my buddy's wheels this weekend for a car show and he offered me a really good deal on them. I can't decided if I should just buy them or get something else. Let me know if you think I should keep them or get something else. If you think I should get something else, let me know what, and any pictures will help.

Here's what it looks like now. Sorry for the shitty pictures.

Haha, no one seems to like my 16's. And yes I know it needs to be lowered in a bad way. It seems to ride quite a bit rougher with the 18's. If I were to get 17's, would that get any better?

I liked my 16's but the 18's look much better. Those look ok on your car, I'd get em if you were getting a good deal. And you get used to the rougher ride, it's not really that bad for me.

i assume those tires on the 18s are 35 series sidewall. so yea, a 17 would ride better, cause you would probably have a 40 series sidewall.
more rubber=more cushion.

I know the fronts are a 30 series sidewall and I didn't look at the backs.

just to set something straight...a 315/35 17 will have the same size sidewall as a 275/40 17. just so you dont get confused

Alright, thanks for clearing that up. Most people go with a 35 series sidewall on 18" wheels correct?
