im going to put some TT's on my car but cant decide between 17 and 18's. I want 18s but there also 150 bucks more per wheel than 17's and 17's are cheaper on tires. so is that 1in worth the extra probably 700 bucks? and should i get chrome or polished? chrome is 35 bucks more a wheel

I would go with the 18" TT2's and the chrome, because the polished are a lot more work to keep lookin good.

17" chrome TT2s. Cheaper and I think are better looking. 18" TT2s at all 4 corners will look weird. You will probably have a rougher ride too since you have less rubber. Save your money and get the 17s

i voted for 18. trust me if you get 17's within a month you will want bigger. i have 18s and wish i had 19's. mine are polished and kind of a pain to clean so if you can get them chrome do that but make sure its not just the ones that are chrome spokes

pics are in the sig

pics are in the sig i dont know about the chrome spokes? they said 315 chrome or 280 polished, i guess i should ask.. i know i dont want to go bigger i already did that with the 20's and im tired of the ride/+ my car is too low for them, i have to watch for everything in the road thats why i want 17's or 18's so i can have some more tire under there and more wheel well chearance

soap and water and they're shiny! i dont drive it in the rain or snow or anything so basically they just get dusty. not sure how everyday use would change the cleaning process. anyone else know? though i have heard of some people having to break an arm trying to clean theirs all the time! :D

I would go with 17's myself because I have been known to race on my street wheels...And I need DR for hooking at the track when not on slicks..:D
