Default Anyone else getting this from friends?

my friends keep telling me my rims are too big. i have a set of 18" SSR comps which IMO look awesome.. especially after i get my lip and a drop.. but they all keep saying it is too big for the S cuz its too small of a car.. does anyone else get this abuse from their friends?!

people think the stock 06 wheels are 18's but they never say they look big?
If you like them then it doesn't really matter, it's yours.
They look fine in the pic

they keep telling me i should have gotten 17's... and IMO, after the car is dropped and kitted (or OEM lipped, in this case), 18's just look awesome and 17's just dont seem right. *shrug*

I could see 18's looking odd on stock height... that wheel well gap looks kind of like an upper class 'scraper.'

Lower it an inch, like you plan on, and nobody will be complaining.
