What size tires do you have? And where do you usually drive? I'm thinking of getting 18s, but I'm afraid of potholes and some of Manhatten roads. Any problems/complaints with the 18s?

I had just one problem with these rims. I was on the highway and hit a large pothole going 55mph. I damaged my front tire so I had to change it. These rims are really durable, although if you live in the city I would suggest you go with 17 in. With 18's you will get real personal with each and every bump on the road. I drive from Bklyn to Queens most of the time(Belt Expway).

General question about tire sizes......do 225/45/17s have the same sidewall as 225/45/18s?

I have no idea. Not an expert on tire sizes.

That is one nice *** SC you got. I like the list of mods you got going on, good taste. One thing I would say is... if you can ... loose the front plate... it looks so much better w/o.

Thats only if NY state allows it. NY state requires two plates on a car at all times. I'm not as lucky as other states.

British Columbia here in Canada requires you to have front and rear plates, I don't care... fine is like 85 bucks. I still haven't gotten a fine. The only fear is a fix it ticket or an inspection ticket, I doubt I will get that either, my friend just got one for his tinted windows, something I don't worry about either.
