What to do.... I can get BC Osiris 18x10 for 2050 or 17x10 for 1650. Or BC f22/f09 in 18x10 for 2225 or in 17x10 for 1775.
Is there a HUGE diff between 17x10 and 18x10 looks wise? Is the 17" wheel alot lighter then 18".
Pics of my car in the sig, should i got 18x10 or 17x10? TIA

I like 18's for appearnce reasons, although 17's look good too. You need to take into consideration that 18" tires cost more than 17". 18" wheels do not always wiegh more than 17's depends, but since you are looking at the same wheel, one would deduce that the 18 would be heavier, but not by much. 18" tires have shorter side walls so handling is improved but straightline traction is lessened by less sidewall "flex" . . .

Iv decided on the Osirs, but its ethier 17x8 and 17x10 or 18x9 and 18x10. Which way should i go?

Either 17x10 or 18x10. Either will look good. Its up to you and what you want to spend. The price of tires goes up quite a bit from 17-18 but they sure do look good!
Which is what my next wheel will be. Ill keep the 17's for track days. 17's-good performance, 18's-not so good performance, compared to 17's.
