Default Wheel Help!!!!

I've decided that I'm going to go with RS4 Reps. Now I cant decide between 17's and 18's. I live near Chicago, where the roads arent that good, but most of my driving occurs on the highway. I will be swapping which ever wheels i get for the OEM 16"s in the winter. SO what do you guys think, 17"s or 18"s

Tough decision. 18's look great but unless you live where the roads are smooth, they will get damaged sooner or later. I guess it depends on how you drive. Do you hit curbs and pot holes often? Or are you super careful to watch for that stuff. I'm not, and visibility is not all that great from my car. I'll prob stick with the stocks for now because I'd destroy a set of new 18's where I live.

Default Get the 18s

i just had the same decision to make and went with the 18s from Achtuning. i live in nj where the roads are horrible (especially now, after having a real winter), but think that i'll be ok. beside, it's amazing how many luxury cars now come with 18, 19, and 20" wheels (hell, mazda proteges have 17s, now, for crying out loud). it definitely looks better, too.
