The 18"s do look pretty good, but I have always been a fan of smaller wheels. 16" at the most. But they do look good though.

DONT PUT 18's ON THERE!!! 18's are WAY too big for a 3g. 17's are the biggest to go IMO. 16's are perfect, but if you like em get em. Those are nice wheels, but i'd go smaller if i were you. The fact that you'd have to put like 35 series tires on there is incentive enough to not get em. They're a PAIN to roll on all the time and expensive as hell.

Well it depends cuz I heard that smaller rims are better for racing and stuff but if you wanna floss like me, get the 18"s :D. Oh and also I solved the problem about people saying that 18's will scrub the finders and stuff. Well everyone knows that you can lower your car right...well geniuses, you also can raise it by getting spacers for springs. Universal Coil Spring Adjuster (http://images.cardomain.com/member_images/9/web/429000-429999/429202_10_full.jpg) About 1/2 in or so and you'll be SOLID!!!! :cheers:

I dunno about everyone else, but I think that raising the car AND putting 18" rims on it would look stupid... 17's would be just fine.

I like big rims but think it would look alot better if you lower it like 2 inches and put some 17's on it. Just my $.02.

I would go with a 16" or 17". 18 is just a little too big, but thats just IMO.

If you want your ride quality to feel like crap then don't get 18s. There will be no rubber to absorb the impact of bumps in the road.

Yep 18's are too big for a 3G I think. Stick with 16's or 17's. Then you can drop it nice.

:werd: 18's would be a pain in the ass to deal with, and they don't look all that great anyways.

the 15" rims on the car dont look that bad to tell the truth.
Runnin those 18" would change the whole look, and the whole quality of ride also.

and NO you dont have to raise ti up to put 18 inch rims
