Question

Hello everyone, I have 2 Questions.

1) I was thinking of getting the 17's Chromes, but not to sure if it would be a smart thing to do since I live in New York, Brooklyn area. In case you are not too familiar with that area, it's always under construction - belt pkwy is always damaged, roads are not in good shape at all. So I figure if I get the 17's I would only kill them in a short period of time. Also, dont the 17's create more noise and do they really increase the performance of the car (in my case its a 98 gs400)

Please help?

2) What other boards are there? I only know of this one which is the greatest web site on the internet & that really bad one bimmers.org? something like that. What are some of the other good ones?

Thank you.

17s shouldn't be a problem at all.

I would recommend tho, get some light and strong forged 18 inch performance wheels like VolkRacing ones. Heh heh but that's personal preference for everyone.

Default one other thing

Chrome wheels attract a lot of attention, good and bad. It makes your car a lot easier to find and a appealing target for someone to steal. I try to keep my car as low key as possible, I don't want the cops or other crazy drivers from MA getting to know what my car looks like. All depends on the area.
