Default Rims!

I've been browsing, and I really like XD spys. I want 305, but is there such a big difference in 17s and 18s, looks wise? Price wise, there is a huge difference.

Bigger rims --> More expensive rims and tires
Bigger rims --> Looks better.

Looks wise.... 18's are 1" bigger. 1/2" on top, 1/2" bottom.


IMHO, you need to have a bigger rim if you are going with XD spy's.

Go with 20's. or 22's. Forget the cost... just do it!

I would spend the bit of extra on 18's if you are set on either 17 or 18.

17's are the minimum. Why replace stock rims with the minimum?
