I would go 18s and also when you lower your car watch out for rubbing issues always ask if I lower the car with this set up will I rub or not and also 17in to 18s no matter what becareful with pot holes its so easy to dent! factory wheels are safe try lowering the car with the factory set up and also realize the S02s from the factory are very sticky tires so when you ugrade theres going to be a differenence in handling and grip!!

Holy insult batman.... Ya, those are some Konig wheels... they cost about $800 for the set. I originally thought they were American Racing or Crager's..
sheer grip is incredible with the 120 wide rubber in the rear especially with the square shoulders of the recaps, not to mention the perfect offsets...
of course acceleration is improved off line due to the lightweight depleted uranium i used for the rotors and lugnuts

I have 19" inch wheels, and they look incredible. They are HRE 549 3-piece. Front wheels is a 8.5 {235/35/19} and rear is 10.5 {275/30/19} wrapped with potenza S03... they are the widest offset HRE offers for these car. My car is suzuka blue, and the center of the rim is powder coated in suzuka blue.droppedwith H&R springs, with the back fenders rolled....the car does not rub. It is beautiful. Yeah the performance is no like before, but i added a Injen cold air intake. and the performance is back to the way it felt when it was stock.
