Default Do you think 17" Work Euroline DH is too small?

Do you think putting 17" Work's Euroline DH wheels on the SC is too small and wouldn't look right? I've seen some 16" ones on cars like Scion XBs and such that didn't look bad. I haven't seen anybody sporting 17" euroline DHs so I don't know. The reason I am asking is because I know of a set of 17" Eurolines for a really good price, I am not sure if I should go ahead and get them or just keep saving for at least 18" ones. What do you guys think?

hmmm, 19" Work eurolines with tires would kill my pocket, but I like doing stuff right the first time around then having to go back and replace parts. So I am guessing I should hold off and save up for some 19" wheels?

yes that would be best...18s is also not too bad, you'd save now and save later on with tires

Yeahh, I saw that. I posted on his thread. I don't have quite enough money for that price right now but maybe he can work something out with me.

damn i feel stupid i went from chinky 7.5 in wide 5 zeigan's in 18's to mkiv supra tt rims. on my behaf though i got em for 200 bucks in perfect condition. the 5 zeigans did not come even close to clearing the supra tt front calipers. anyway my point is i kinda like the rims better than the 5 zeigans. i guess they will do for now

18's are a good compromise, and depending on the style of the wheel and the drop, look pretty good IMHO. I think wheels with spokes extending to the very edge of the wheel look larger than those with a wide, definite lip.
