I reaaly like the look of both 17s and18s but i live in the hills of Pennsyltucky and the roads aren't the best. So i have questioned the 18s, but i just dont want to get the 17s and say...man i should have got the 18s. 2000 SVT #453 DOB 11/19/1999 1991 SHO 1993 CHEVY Z71 350 5speed NO CHROME GOD BLESS FAST 4 DOORS

My friend who has had 18's says be prepared to chip and damage the 18's, he is now using 17's and is happy, but I keep hearing from a lot of people I wish I had bought 18" So I'm just as confused, I think I will end up going for the 18's anyway. 1999 Silver Frost Contour SVT 2690 of 2760 Born 08/13/1999 Sony Mobile ES CDX-C90 Deck 6 1/2 Infinity Kappa Perfect mid & tweet set, 2 12 Infinity Kappa Perfects JBL P.600.1 for Bass, P.180.2 for front stage.

Way cheaper and theyre not as likely to bend, and they still look great IMO. Here they are on my dirty car when I got them yesterday - 17" Rage Breakers w/ nitto nt-450 rubber (stock suspension) 98 svt

I hardly took any pics because I was so pissed off and the car was really dusty and dirty.
