if u want dont care about performance, and planning getting a kit, fo with 18's or 19's for sure. 17's will look to small, and you'll regret getting em.

If your more about the performance, stick with 15 or 16s...maybe even 14s

but 18 do look sick on some low pros

go with the 18's. They look much better. Either way make sure you get the suspension dialed in so that it looks clean.

yeah, i got 17's stock height and there's nasty wheel gap, go with the 18's if you don't mind being slowed down a bit.

i really dont think 18's will dramatically slow u done that much more than 17's. just go 18's if u are getting a kit, and 17's if u are leaving the body stock.

Id go for 18". The wheelgaps in the celi are pretty big so i prefer 18", if you got plenty of cash why not consider 19", you cant go big enough if its about rims in my opinion. (if you can live with a little performance loss of course). excuse my crappy english, im from the land of wafels. Greets.

Yeah his car was special though. That car is an incredible car. I think you have to earn the right to put 19's on.

Ive got my 18' rims today and they do slow you down a bit and the car has a slightly higher fuel consumption but hey, they look great.

how much is the difference in 1/4th mile between 16s 17s and 18s? Is it a lot?

I dont know the specs but i went from 16' to 18' and you can REALLY FEEL the car is slower, if you are a speedfreak or leaning towards performance i dont recommend them, Here in Belgium we got a small road-network so here the speedfactor isnt that important as in the states.
