Its all in preference, personally I want 18" C-5's

If you're about the show and don't plan on racing, I'd get 18's

Try either gold or gunmetal. That would look hot on a red body.

So you are saying get 17s if i race cuz i do and dont wanna hurt my performance its already a n/t but i want it to look nice 2

Unless you can get some really light 18's (which is gonna be real $$$), I'd get 17's if you're considering performance as well as looks.

Bigger rims mean larger rotational mass and more weight, requiring more hp/torque to turn. 17's are a good all around look and performance size cause they're large enough to mostly fill the whell well, yet lighter that most 18's.

Thanks for the help i think ive decided on some 17in adr sokudo gold rims if i can find some in 17s ebay only has some 18s right now if i never find em in gold ill go with gun metal and also on tires wuts the measure meant for how thin they are i want some real loprofile tires. im glad 17 work better for perforamnce because it help out my bank account to they r cheaper

215 or 225/35 or 40 V/W/Y/Z -17

If you want real low porfile tires, get the best performance tires with the stiffest sidewalls you can afford. You're gonna need it to make sure you minimize sidewall flex and stop the rim from hitting the ground while cornering
