Polished aluminium bullits: 17" or 18"?

What should i buy: 17" or 18" oem polished aluminium bullits?
18" are bigger and impressiver but with 17" I can make a better old scholl look with more rubber...
What's your opinion, what's on your ride, why did you decide for 17 or 18 inches?
Thanks for your posts

If your going to upgrade why not add the extra inch. When I get mine I'm going with the 18".

If it were me I'd go with the 17's just because they're a little lighter than the 18's.

If your going aftermarket, make sure you get a wide enough rim. The factory 18" Bullitts I opted for only allow a 255/45/18 tire MAX due to the rim width. If you get an extra 1/2" of rim width you can fit wider 285/35/18 tires. I saw a guy with a Black Vert with wide rear tires and I really could kick myself for buying the factory Bullitts!
