Not sure which I like better the Chrome Y2K's

Both are nice. I dont really like the black ones though, unless they were on a silver or white car.

There is no point to an 18 inch rim. They don't look any better, the tires cost a hell of a lot more money, you get worse traction because the wheels are too damn tall...17" rims are the perfect size for these cars. Why should I pay more money for a rim that's going to cost me more money in upkeep, make my car slower due to weight, reduce mpg, increase road noise and decrease traction?

Nice to have the option for the future, though...

18's FOR THE FREAKING WIN!!! Yeah, the tires are more expensive but I don't drive that much so I don't replace them that often either ... lol ... look at the following pics. of my T/A, I think the car would look downright retarded with anything less than that at that stance ... I'm actually thinking of going for a staggered look with 19's in the back ... 
... funny thing is, I haven't put this damn car on the road since I bought it ... doh!

they arent going to increase road noise if they same tire was used on either rim. the only thing that will happen is the tires are more money.
