Here are some 18's. I'd spend the extra money for the 18's. Just my $0.02

What size wheels and tires you have there. They are fitting the wheel well nicely.

Bravedave:

What size rubber are you running on those 17's? I'm thinking about the 17" billet rallys and those tires are the exact profile I'm looking for.

Thanks.
