gotta be a lil more specific...

namely what's your price range.

i can refer to the cheapest of the cheap and the ballin-est of the ballin.

way too big for a ep, max would be 17s on it.

17's are ideal for the ep. 16's were perfect for the last generation, just as 18s are perfect for the FG/FA.

one of the girls from the UK has 18" CE28 honda time attack volks and it looks SICK. but i would have to agree that 18's are too big for the ep.

but 18" RPF1's would look nice without weighing too much.

I bought mine with 18's on it. They where the first thing to go... right after the APC retro tails.

17s are more functional and 18s are more for looks (assuming you like the looks). In the UK ep3s come with 17" rims so you see people putting 18s on their EPs a lot more over there. Or so it seems from looking at their Online ep3 forums.

I want some polished 18" Rota Subzeros or something like that. Or maybe some 18" wheels that are black with a painted lip. 18s for when you go to a car show or you are just driving around and showing off. 17s for when performance matters more than looks.

what's your price range anyways? I suggest 17 inch volk re030 or ce28n.
