Haha.. My track car is 14x7 for street and 13x6 for track. It's fun to have wheel/tire setups you can throw like a shot-put.

actually 18s are better than 17s in some type of racing. less sidewall = siffer sidewall = less rollover...

Yeah, it's true... it all depends however on what you're using the wheel for. If I had a race car, I'd have 18's with crazy suspension with even crazier springrates... But I'm not on a race track (Although sometimes I act like I am... and I get 0wn3d for it by Johnny Law, but thats a different story)... so I prefer wheels that wont bend or rub (18s rub really easily on the GC RS's... so yeah).

18's look better though, IMHO.
