The 18" wheels on my car, although they look cool have turned out not to be such a great idea. I had them straightened out once but the beat up roads here in Houston won again. Maybe a 17" or even a 16"

I was thinking of replacing them with something like this...

Wanted to see what you all think. My wife thinks they are super ulgy, and the guys here were I work don't like these either but for some reason I really like them.

Here is a pic of my car for a point of reference, I'd get the black ones...

If you want something other than stock, I have always thought that 17 inch wheels are perfect for the 914 flared fenders or narrow body.

Yeah, don't think they would work on a flared car... I do like the wheel design though.

I vote phone dials (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif)
