I came across a pretty good deal on some 18 Ace spades. I loved how the 17s looked on fsugatorbaits car, but since their an older model, their kinda tough to find. So what are your thoughts on em? Im not gonna make this a track car so Im not too worried about the little loss of performance, but hows the ride? My options are:

A) get my bumper fixed (hit something awhile back. Not bad, but very annoying) and get some 215/45/17 kumhos 711 or 712 for my mille miglia spiders or
B) pick up those 18s with tires (proxys with 90% left i think)...

let me know and feel free to attach pics.

FYI YES I did search and no pics work and didnt really get any opinion without it turning to a "this is rice thread"

hmm that doesnt look too bad. I came across bretts and the blue ss on 18s, and they all looked alright. Whats your thought on the ride? Ever wish you just got 17s?

Well I had a problem with rubbing at first and had to camber them in but I think I may have found out a solution to that. I will let you know in a week or 2. I am glad I got 18's everyone has 17's but only a few have 18's

im still kicking the 18s around, but it really looks like a body kit is needed to even it out.. just my opinion..

I hated having 18's for one reason, the tires are expensive as hell! Now I need to get these fixed b/c got a nail in the tire and went flat, then I hit a bump in the road and cracked one of the wheels.
Here is a small pic...
