Message	hence the smz came like this because of better handling. depends on what you do with your car i run 18"s for the pimp factor. i really like the look of 17s in the front 18's in the back for the contrast. shoot yugobernie or some of the guys an email for when they return from Z CON they are more knowlegable on the subject
