17s or 18s on the '06?
Thanks again Rem!
You know what's interesting, is that I'm looking at 215/35R tires with 18x7.5 wheels versus the 205/55R16 stock setup. And the former setup is actually almost an inch shorter in height than stock overall (tires + wheels) (24.877 versus 23.922 inches), but the later is just a hair over 3/8" wider...interesting. Could I go with 19s??? I'll play around at tirerack.com and see what I can come up with...

Yeah... I agree Rem. I'm going with 18s. Now that I've picked the size, I'm faced with the challenge of picking the style! Not too crazy about the AT Italia Inox wheels - they're nice - but I'm looking for something a little different. I'll let you know what I come up with!
OK...I've got it narrowed down to 2. Check 'em out - they're both 18s.

OK. Yes, they are chrome-plated. And, I'm not looking to build a racecar. I just want something that looks good, and won't be so big that they rub or cause major inconsistencies in my speedometer reading. I still think the 18s would look good, in lieu of the 17s. Also, the ASA's (top picture) are 23.8 lbs at 18", and 21.6 lbs at 17". The Zinik's (obviously the other picture) are 26 lbs each at 18". I did a comparison between those and the Inox's that Rem referenced earlier in this thread, and they are 24.7 lbs at 17"! They are much heavier in comparison to the ASA's I'm looking at...
So, what gives... Other thoughts???
