Just get 18s, you won't regret it. I kinda regret only getting 17s, but oh well... FWIW, 17" RS5s. Somebody will post the same wheel in 18" form, and it definitely stands out more...  -J

i dont really know about anyone else but i have 17" Sacchi rims on my 99 SVT and whenever i even have at least 1 person in my back seat (mainly 2) and we hit like a dip in the road the car will slam on my Michelen Pilot Sports!  I dont know if anyone else has that same problem, thought you wanted to know. I haven't met anyone with 18s on their SVT though so i dont know how it goes with 18s

Go 18's, they look better. Friend of mine has 17's and he's now switching to 18's, however 19's are a different story just about everyone that has them has rubbing problems where as with the 18's it's rare and they just look so sweet when compared to a 17".
