Isn't there artually performance to take into consideration? I know it cant be too much, but it takes more power to get a larger wheel spinning. Someting about inertia/centrfigul force if I remember correctly. There's trade offs between too small and too big, and I would imagine that factory specs use the best medium. Correct me if I'm wrong though.

I love my 18s, once I lower it the car will look sick, IMO. However, the tires are a bitch. I have 265 up front and 285 in the rear, got a decent deal off of a website, but I wanted a wider rear tire, but it was too expensive at the time. It just boils down to being a matter of personal choice. Just stay away from the 20s for the love of God. haha
