18's Too Big??

My cousin is offering me some 18 inch rims at a really good price. Is it worth it to put 18's on a 3rd gen?? Will I lose performance? How will it look. I have a tan SE. Thanks.

You will lose comfort. You feel the road + bumps a lot more.

check out my homepage, i have 18"s , and yeah my ride feel did go down alittle but i love the way they look and of course if ur going full race, i would advise against 18"s cause they do weight alot.

Get the rims the ride is actually not all that bad. The good thing about having that size rim is being able to go throw rain puddles and not have a whole lot of under steer. Really be good once you lower it a bit.

not too big but it will slow down your acceleration. the look though is great and the ride lets you feal some more bumps but its not too bad. check my homepage for my pics w/18's

If I sold them my cuz would get upset. After all he's hooking me up and could sell them to someone else for alot more. Ive gotten positive response and will prob get them. I dont race the max so why not.
