    Not sure if I want to upgrade from 17's to 18's, but I am open to it. I was looking around on the board and didn't seem to find anything that I think would look all that good on a SW tC. Does anyone have any pics of their white tC's with some nice aftermarket wheels??? Help me out guys!

    Checkout my Enkei EV5's Hyper-Black. IMO go w/ 18's but no bigger. 17's IMO work better for racing applications.

    I concur. If you lower your ride height, the OEM wheels won't look so small in those big wheel wells. You could run a size wider (225/45/17 vs stock 215/45/17) tire or wheel spacers to give the car a wider stance and slightly more menacing look. 18's are where you want to go.

    Your's are 18's? They don't look that big... mind me asking how much your new shoes cost? I don't really want to go up to 18's, but may just have to.

    Total cost for Wheels (Enkei EV5's Hyper-Black 5x100/18x7.5/38mm off-set) and Tires (GoodYear Eagle GT's 225/40/18 and Nitrogen Filled) was $1,600

    I have 18s I love them... my current setup is XXR 521s (Flat Black) 18x8.5 +40 offset all around...I am actually in the process of getting coils to drop the car, then throw on some spacers and probably change the tires to some that have more strectch. (Rolled fenders are in the works also).
