Default 17" or 18" Wheels

Well I'm shopping around for some wheels for my03, and I'm having hard time deciding which size should I go with 17 or 18?......

18 imo is too big. 17 is the best size.

There's a better place to post this. And it's your preference...look up pictures. They both work, but I'd probably prefer 17, plus it's cheaper.

Depends too if you track too right? The bigger wheels will be heavier to stop.

Are you tracking your car? Do you just plan to drive on the street?

18's are actually better for the track, believe it or not.
