Either you're repeating what I just said

Or you're like me and think 18"+ is too big and doesn't necessarily look nice

I'm really hoping for the latter given the other thread you just posted in :\

sorry for the threadjack... but going with the above posts, i believe if you are aiming towards the performance aspect like myself and others, 18's arent a wise choice. (aside from the fact that i dont think they look good at all) if you are going for all looks with a slight bit of performance, 18s are your cup of tea. i have seen VERY VERY few F-Bodys that in my book look good with that large of wheels. but thats my .02 back to the original post...

And then C) You hopefully find out how dumb it was to buy one and put it on even though there was never a legitimate documentation of a real world gain, take it off, learn a lesson and save/spend money on modifications which are more effective.
