17's or 18's?

im in the market for some rims, but cant decide between 17" or 18" rims, although I am more towards performance. Can people with 17 aftermarket rims post a link to their website?
response would be much appreciated.

17's will be lighter but the 18's will look a lot better.

You don't want your ride looking like this do you?

there is no way those ar 17's. look at any stock max that has 17's and it looks no were near that. i think that thos are 16's. Plus that looks photoshopped. I guess i have a hard time believing that anybody would actually want there maxima to look that bad

The real question should be 18's or 19's? Max's come stock on 17's...at least mine did.

depends on surroundings...when you live in NYC or places with potholes getting 19's isnt viable...nor is 18's really

im happy with my lightweight forged 17's....they are bling and they arent too big to worry about a thin sidewall
