Get 17's, the bigger you go, you lose exceleration. Big is good for top speed though.

Dunlops are good tires....

Get the 17's. I've seen the 18's on the Neon and it looks retarded. (No offense to 18' Neon owners)

If you are gonna show the car, go 18's. If you are gonna use it as a daily driver, 16's or 17's. the bigger you go the less "meat" you are gonna have on the tires and the easier its gonna be to bend a rim and the rougher the ride is gonna be.

I have 17's on my car, and I couldn't imagine driving my car everyday on 18's where I live. It's rough enough on 17's. I use the stock rims for driving in winter.

I would stick with 17s...If your just showing off the car then get 18s. The bigger you go the heavier your car will get, which will be a factor if you plan to race it once in a while.
