Default If I get 17' Rims?

What needs to be replaced for the best peformance? I dont want a bumpy ride and I want the acceleration good. Any advice?

That depends on what you have now.....but I'd say the general feeling would be air intake, exhaust, header, and then engine....lol

17s will most likely = bumpy ride depending on what suspension setup you have. 17s have less rubber in order to fit under the fender, and less rubber = bumpy ride. You have to give up something for the look, and comfort is it. As far as acceleration think smaller and lighter. I think most will sugest Rota rims in a 15 or 16, but again it is all what you want. Take pics and keep us informed.

[sm=signs007.gif] i too have 17's , u'll feel more of the lil bumps but its not that bad, 17's imo look the best w/ a nice set of springs (i have neuspeed sports)

I have 18s on my hatch and they ride very nice. I'm still on factory springs though but with a small tire as i'm running there should be a significant change in ride quality but there isn't.
