I’d love to get 18” on my 94 VTi too but they cost a lot and they would rub heaps

Big wheels look wicked (I love big rims) but don’t perform to well on a small car

Most ppl here will tell ya to only going 16” for best performance but hay I’ll be going 17” coze they look heaps better IMO

18's I think are a bit extreme, I agree though, they would look mad, but there would be trouble in paradise if you got them... 17's would b alrite, still youd prolly get some rubbing

IF 2 rims, one 18" one 15" both weight 5 kg. the 18" will be harder to turn as there is more weight FURTHER out from the centre:wave:

Dunno bout 18's, but 17's would look just as good...maybe less rubbing too. You could probably get away with King Springs super lows as well...I have that set up on mine, and no probs...

i have 18s and my car sits at about 105mm. the wheels rub at the back when i go over bumps/ditches, but they don't rub all the time. i love my 18s but then again my car is more for show and sound
