Picture of your current 17 or 18 inch wheel configuration
Looking to see some pictures of your favorite 17 or 18 inch wheel configuration. I am searching for a new set up and am sure will be able to better frame my decision once I see all the fancy cars on this forum  . Please share a picture of your ride.
Cheers!

I picked up a set of 18" Light Alloy Carrera Wheels off of Craigslist a few years ago. I had the same style on my 993 cab.

The light alloy Carrera wheels look fantastic.

I had 18" Victors on my last Box and 19" on the current one...
For looks, I think the 19" looks better, for performance, I'd go down to 17".

you should ask about the weight. Some of the flashier wheels are boat anchors. Slows your acceleration big time, wears out those EXPENSIVE suspension parts, are prone to cracking (if not at least pressure cast alloy -- very few are) and creates a whole bunch of new annoying rattles. worse fuel economy too.
Anything near 20 lbs is very good, over 25 lbs not so good.

I personaly like chrome wheels, these are 17" the spec fits perfect 7x17/9x17.
these are about 20-23 lbs. rear 23,1 lbs
would like to have those in 18"7x18/9x18, but its hard to find.
Don't want to go larger or wider.
