s14nVa is an unknown quantity at this point
I've had some really crappy 17's on my car for a while now, and since three of the four rims are completely bent all to hell and back, (i actually broke two wheel stems off on friday night, driving around wondering what the heck all the banging noise was coming from my back end <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/crazy.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':crazy:'>) I figured instead of letting my steering wheel get tossed around like crazy @ 60mph. I should go ahead and replace them. I was thinking about going with 18's but i'm not too sure how hard the ride will be and how considerable a difference i'll see. I've currently got tokico blues/sport-lines on there to dampen things, but my 17's are a little unforgiving on city streets (cobble stone may be historically cute, but it sure hurts like hell <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/notify.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':notify:'> ). I also do a lot of highway driving as my fiancee lives 2 hours away, and am concerned about killing tires quickly. anyone have any advice on which route to go? i sure would like a wilder footprint on the back end, and 18's sure look nice on our cars.... but is it worth it? TIA
