17's or 18's?????

I'm getting some rims put on the balt soon...going with ADR M-sports, *(Basically Rial Nogaros)
And i'm curious if you guys think i should get 17's or 18's?

Most people who get smaller end up wanting bigger.
But there's also weight and performance to consider...

also keep in mind
I'll be putting an SS body kit on it eventually
Vote, thanks guys!

Well, put it this way. I originally upgraded from my stock 17"s to 18" Enkei WDMs, and I thought they looked tiny. I ended up buying 19" Axis Mods (my current setup). I'm satisfied for the most part, but b/c of their huge lip, they still don't really look that big......and keep in mind my car is lowered on Sportlines at that. My 19"s w/ a lip look about as big as stock SS/SC 18"s. I'm considering selling them and getting 20" Verde Exodus wheels.

So even though I say go 19"s or bigger, I'll vote 18"s to stick with your poll.

IMO 18's just look right on a 'balt.

if your gonna get that much bigger wheels then stock..you gonan need to upgrade your brakes as well..think of all the extra rotating mass you will have going from 15's or 16's to something like a 19...its just not designed to handle that
