Default What rims?

Ok guys I am building a '90 Lx and Im not sure what rims to go with, 17"cobra's, or 17" Saleen, or should I go 18". I am going to drop the car 7/8" in front and 1/2"in the rear. If anyone has any pics or sugestions please lets see/hear them.

Thanks
~Matt

well i always liked staggered rims myself, like 17's in the front and 18's in the rear.... with 17's you can still get a DR if you ever want to drag race it but if your just going for looks/handling 18's would be good too. i bet there are some fitment issues with 18's tho

17" cobras look good on a fox but there are a lot of people out there with them.vv i cant remember seeing a saleens on there but im sure they would look good. i am not sure how 18's would look but i dont think that they would fit that well on a fox
