Default mz6 steel grey

Hey, guys I just went through one of my toughest decision making in a long time. My wife offered to buy me either the ground kit or the rims for x-mas. after much debate I decided that the wheels will give me better performance, while the kit does nothing to improve perf. So the decision now is what to get, 17'' or 18''. and if either one what offset and size of tires. thanks so much. Wheelmax has some great sales on rims/tire combos.

18" offset should be higher than +45 preferably over 50

You oughta subract the difference in price between the 17" and 18" tires and wheels and buy your wife something really nice for Christmas. THAT will improve your performance at home, to say nothing of your -ahem- resale value...

Nah it's all to do with the width. If you can get a 7 inch width than even low 40's would be fine. 7.5 inch width around 45 would do.
