i read a little more, and im leaning towards the 17s for ride quailty and performance. i also get a little more tire. what is wide tred that i will be safe with, and do you agree on going with the 17s.( i have a black 06 and was thinking a high gloss black with the chrome outline would look nice)

Props to your for searching... Go with 17's, and yes black with a polished lip looks sick.

id get 17's, it has a nice look and will still perform well..18s will kind of make you look like a roller skate.
