Default Should i get 17s or 18s?

I'm most likely going to get a set of gold te37s, but I'm unsure on what size to get. Normally, I would think 17s are too small for a car, but it seems to look pretty good on the s2000. I've never actually seen aftermarket 17s on a s2000 in person though.

please post pictures of te37s if you have some? 17s and 18s

I personally think 18's are the perfect size but the downside is that they weigh a little more and tires are more expensive

I don't care about the downsides

Depends on the wheels.

Some look better in 17... some in 18.

(example: LMs = 18 ONLY, S1s = 18 ONLY)

I think 18s are perfect for the car.

16s are "w/e"
17s look better than 16s
18s fit perfect
19s are usually too big (some exceptions to this)
20s NEVER

performance wise... i've read lots of debates on this forum, and many on here run heavier 18s on the track with wide rubber and their times improved over 16s and 17s...
