Can anybody with a 1996 SE please post pics of their ride on 17's to help me decide whether or not to buy em and which kind i want as well. Thanks guys!

I havent had many problems with rubbing and the tire size is 225/40/18. there is a pic of my car on zetecinside.com/xr2/register.htm

I have already lost 5 wheels (bent enough to cause vibrations). I do not know how other guys get away with going 18". Their rim selection must be better than mine I guess. JET
