So when I was picking out my car after we negotiated the price, the dealer had only one white car left and it had 18" aftermarket rims on them. They replaced it with another same size 18" rim for it and they decided to give it to me for free because they didn't want to pay the technician to change it again back to the stock 17". Now I'm trying to get a consensus from you guys on which rim looks better and if there is any difference between the two rims?
I like the 18" rim because it's a shade darker.

The car and 18" rim that I got looks exactly like the one on the right


And the stock 17" rim looks like this

This thread confuses me. anyway if you like the 18", go for it! I know many members here hate it because it reminds them of lobster claw, but what's wrong with lobsters? lol

17" inch wheels are boring, I have them (2007 model).

If you want better roadholding at the expense of ride quality, get the 18" wheels. If you want better ride quality as the expense of some at-the-limit roadholding, get the 17" wheels. I just bought a set of 17s to replace my 18s because the ride was too harsh.

Take the free 18. If/when you decide to step up to a nice set of aftermarket wheels you will have much easier time selling the 18. Not to mention you will get much more cash for a set of 18's then you will 17's.

I too vote for the 18" wheels.

Yes, take the free wheels and I like the lobster claws

Thanks bro, the answer I was looking for
I noticed the ride is much rougher but damn the car feels so much nicer now since the test drive. I'll give it some time for the suspension to "break in". I figured that the rough ride must have been contributed by the new wheel size.

I have the 17's myself and now I wish I would've got the 18" lobster claws.

I have 19s and my car ride almost the same as my 16" stockers
