Johnny - Hehehe...nothing personally, but in general, I think if you want aftermarket wheels, you should go 18" or higher...however, basic 5-spokes in 17" look fine (like your car) but unless I got them for free or damn cheap, I wouldn't spend money to basically "sidegrade" (as opposed to "upgrade")...why didn't you go 18"?

MM Evo 5 - Hehehe...that's the MOST PLAYED out dealer wheel...my local dealer pushes those on EVERY SINGLE SC they sell...and the price they try to sell it for...talk about getting RAPED...I kinda feel bad for these uniformed buyers....if they only knew...

I know, I know I should've gotten 18"s, I've been kicking myself about it, but I totally pu$$ied out putting the 17's on. Living so close to and driving in NYC was my main fear, after hearing so many stories from friends with bent rims.
