ilove my 18's. I think once the car is lowered the difference will really show.
I would personally just save up for the 18's.

So do you guys think I should go with the 18" chrome Cobra-R's? Would they be noticeably heavier? It reccomends they come with 265's, I'd get the Sumitomo's....

Its all in how much money u can spend.... the 18s only cost about $10 more than the 17s but the tires is where it hits ya. i personally think that 18s look a whole lot better especially when lowered but thats just me.

I have Cobra R 18s on my 99 GT and they look awesome. Staggered with 17s in the front would be nice for a classic muscle look.
