17's or 18's
17's or 18's I am wanting to buy the c5 y2k wheels. Should I do 17's or 18's all the way around? I want to keep all the sizes the same, I don't want 17's in front and 18's in back. Which one's do yall think will look the best?

I wish manufacturers would post the weights of their rims online. So what are the best widths to have for a T/A? 11" wide in the back, 9" in the front? And does a bigger wheel hurt acceleration a lot or just a little...something you won't notice.

16->18's wow your in for sticker shock on nice tires 
and less sidewall bigger rim, esp the knockoff replica junk you probably gonna bend them up quicker.
they do look nice but its hard for some of us to justify the cost of 18's all around with the way these cars like to eat um up.
