id say straight up 18's because 19's will eat up too much gas and itll make u too damn slow. Just make sure when u get 18's find a rim u like that goes all the way to the edge. U dont want that lip because the lip makes the rim smaller. Trust. If you dont know what i mean go stare at more rims and ull notice what im saying.

I had two sets of 19's and my friend had 18's which seem better for everyday driving. 19's make you drive slow avoiding everything on the road.

19"s Its the way to go. I had 18"s and got the 19"s and I like the look better. Too many 18"s out there. Dont get me wrong, there aree lots of 19"s just not as many.

keep tire prices in mind! 19s are expensive and wear out fast!

Really depends on the rim. i have 18" but people tell me they look smaller for some reaso and from some angles I agree that my 18" look like 16-17" I would go 19" but 18" are more practical. Most important thing though is to get some springs on the car as soon as possible. 18-19" wheels look tacky without a drop.

yo skyjay i just found some pretty phat rims on that wheelmax.com site

its the speed atix in hyperblack 18x8 for $1299. I know u said u wanted to spend around a grand but you could front the money first and from selling your stock rims with tires u can get anywhere from wat 5-8 bills. So im sure thats enough to cover the extra cost of the wheels. I think those rims look pretty phat. Can anyone photoshop that onto a max?

http://wheelmax.com/Wheels/Speedy/speedy.htm

its the speed atix gunmetal rim. just wondering if any photoshoppers can do that thx..
