They'll both slow you...those are some heavy a$$ rims no matter what the size...

Get some lightweight 16's...best for real performance...

Yea those NICHE's are fatasses. Any rim you get make it 17 at the biggest, then drop your car. It will look sweet, better than 18's IMO.

If you're into performance at all, go with some other rim, if not, by all means go Niche.

how much more would the tires for the 18s be than the 17s? I've always read that the best compromise between looks and performance are 17s.

just go with the 18's. gauranteed to get you head in the whip. If you want performance, go for the 17's. then you gotta drop that ish. then you are guaranteed hed in the whip. a tint helps with that too.
