Default new rims

as you can see by my picture below, its pretty obvious why I am looking into new rims. Uh probably asked a million times but 17's or 18'?
to me 18's look like they are a little awkward and that the protrude out from the car. Maybe its just me but i think 17's look a little better, whats ur guys input?
uhh what else, oh yea um could that just be because they go wide tires or what
thanks

I like my 18's but I worry about potholes and bending them. The offset determines how far out they are. Most common offset is 35 for aftermarket wheels. A 32 may be more to your liking. Good luck.

18's will be nicer to look at. The tires are more expensive

17's will be lighter, handle a bit better

Anything still will look better than your stock wheels. So go for it.

definitly go with 18's...i had the same stock wheels as yours and i was trying to decide 17 or 18's....i went with 18's and i love em...mine as well go for the bigger wheel..you get low profile tires and it sits well in your wheel well...check out my pictures if you wanna see 18's on a B5 a4
