Please Post Pics - 17's or 18's?

Ok first of all I've already searched. I can't decide between 17's or 18's. I think I'm going to get something like this style. I really want Volk TE37 but they are too expensive.



or...



Please post pictures of your car with your rims. So I can see what different sizes look like.

Also, width... I think I'm going to go with at least 7.5 and no more than 8.5. How does that sound? Is there anything else about width I need to know?

Lastly, I love these. But are they too wide? 8.5 in front and 9.5 in rear.

Here is a picture of mine. The wheels are 17s and I really like them. I don't think you can go wrong between 17 or 18....the difference is so small too.

There is a big ride difference between 18s and 17s. With 18s you will be losing some of the comfort in ur ride. Id rather go 17s..and 8.5 and 9.5 is just right. Just make sure you get the right offset

With 18's not only are tires more $$ but they seem to like to follow every single groove in the road

Hrmm, Isn't it like $1700 or so for the good material? Heck, my wheels will cost more than that.
