Rim Size

[Youngblood77]

Well, maybe, but I gotta think that the wheel gap being smaller on my car will help a little too. I've noticed that the stock ride-height doesn't look near as bad on a black car. Maybe because the wheel gap's "shadow" isn't as noticable against a darker color? To get back on topic, definately go with 18's if possible.

On a side note: If there's anyone in the central NY area looking for a set of Enkei RS-6's in 17's, let me know. I've got a contact who's selling a set wrapped in decent tires for 4-500 bucks, depending on if he has to drive to meet the buyer. :thumbsup: Hell, for $400.00, I might just buy them to swap on from time to time just for fun.

so when you change the rim size, do you notice much difference in speedometer reading? like if you got 18's as opposed to like 15's, the speedometer would read slower than the actual speed...correct?

go with 18's I sure wish I did

just go to this site to figure out the speed difference in the wheels.....

no, get the correct tire size and you'll be fine.

I have 18 and 17, and the 18 definately looks better. However, I bent 2 of my 18" rims this winter on the crappy highways in NJ, they forgot to maintiain them this year. If you do a lot of driving and the roads are poor, and your Alero is your daily driver, 17 might be the way to go. But I love the look of my 18" a lot more.
