Ill get some side pics of my car this weekend and post them up for you so you can see how it looks.
Yah thats true i would hate to have to be careful all the time and having headers would make it really crapy. I would like to see it frome the side it would be nice not having to spend money getting lowering springs

Look again. The options in 18's are catching up to the 17's.

I bought a car already with 18s and I hate them. They get scuffed easily and they don't hook worth a damn. If your going for looks I guess they win out. But I think 17s and 18s both look equally as good with the right choice of wheels.

I'm considering going back to 17s. At least that way you also have the option of going with a MT drag radial. MT doesn't make drag radials for 18".
