Personally, I like high performance wheels and choose to go smaller instead of bigger.

Slap some 13s on there and nothing on the road can stop you. Plus, you can go REALLY wide, like 350s in the back wide, since you dont have to worry about rubbing the fenders.

People may tease you and say that your car looks like a skateboard, but they're just jealous of your mad ride.

18's for show. 17's for performance.

you see?

that's why you will never understand terms like "true say, true say".

it's cuz you say shit like this....

the correct lingo is "18's for show, 17's for go".

Ya, I was going to say that, but it's a bit missleading. 17's don't make you go faster
