Personally I think 18's are too large. The pics you guys supplied look good, but they are angled shots. I think a straight on side shot makes 18's look way too big. I would probably get 17's, but maybe 18's would grow on me, I dunno 
And Chris, your car is so ridiculously awesome that it's not even funny
Edit - The 18's do look good on chris's car because he has a body kit which makes the car look bigger, so the wheels are in proportion with the car, but I think without a body kit, the 18's look too big for the car(especially side view shots)

it depends on the wheel type too. I have 17" r6s and they look like 18s and if you look at probmxstyle's wheels (same as mine) that are 18s they look like 19s.
the wheels that have a very small lip and the spoke goes all the way to the lip like ours always look bigger.
the wheels where the spoke stops and the wheel has a lip (like Chris') will look smaller or what you would think is the right size.
none of this may make sense to anyone else but thats the way I see it lol.

w/o kit
w/ kit
it comes down to personal preference and the type of rim like michael said. 17" subzeros look small to me but the 18's w/ the polished lip make the rim look true. i think if i didn't have the polished lip they'd look like 17's...

Ok maybe I was wrong, those rims look proportioned to the car with or without the body kit. I guess it's the style of the rims though. I think it was the side view of probmxstyle's car where the rims looked too big for me(no offense or anything dude, they still look great).
