...Don't we already have a thread about 20's? And another about what size looks best?
I had Supra TT wheels for years and always liked the look of the 17's. OP, I like your current wheels. They're simple and understated, which is never a bad thing!
I loves me some 17's.

17s: look too small from certain angles even on stock body, but they're lighter and cheaper (tires are too), and the extra sidewall helps w/ ride comfort
18s: they fit stock body sc's a little bit better, ride comfort is decreased marginally, and tires tend to cost $15+ more
whether or not it's an advantage or not kinda depends on the situation, but my car's body was lower on 17s. I scrape midpipe just a bit less w/ 18s.
17x9+22, 10+18, and idk why my fronts were so f-ing high.
stock body people can run 17s, but kitted people def need 18s+.

if i wouldn't have had to fork over soem cash for for therapy ( trying to get rid of a brain tumor 2nd one i've had so far) this is how i get stuck with payments now but what the hell i wont let it happen again.
166$ @ 17x7.5 msr 043
133$ @ 245/45/17 maxxis ma z4 victra's damn good grip keeps me planted on the road when i need to peel out
should have been around 1196$ w/o tax
how i ended up with them nobody around here had 16's in stock (i know weird) so i drove down to rimco thinking i'd pick up a cheap set of rims and tire's all they had were these and some like crazy huge bling bling rims. so i justy grabbed these and went off to my destination it snowed, i got sicker and all the damned if i didn't have to pay out some kash. now i done payed to much into payments to let my cash walk off you get how it's gonna be like 2000 it'll be alright though
