size of wheels depends on suspension...

if you only want to go down an inch stick with 17", but if you want a 2" drop go for 18's

They almost look a little bland, to be honest, but they're still an improvement over stockers. They will definitely make nice winter wheels, though.

If that's your take on it, I'd save the money for wheels that you really want. Nothing wrong with stockers for winter, especially if that means you can run choice wheels in the nice weather. I bought my 17s mainly because I was down to the wear bars on the tires on my OEM wheels, and even with a "bro deal" through a friend, I was looking at $490 for tires for my 16s. I got the 17s with 235-45-17 Michelin Pilot tires for $550, so the extra $60 was money well-spent at the time.

18s are no issue. 19s have been run but it takes the right car to pull em off. I've seenone B5 Avant pulloff 20s and look good.
