I agree. Also, I feel that the car, as is, is so well 'balanced" for 18s, that modifying to larger-sized wheels without modifying the brakes and suspension could be problematic.

if you decide to go with 18s i have a set of bbs rxii's with tires for $2000, they are 2 piece wheels, used for a month, then i got 19s..
with 18s and the right drop, will just look as good as 20s with no drop..
personally.. if i was going for performance, get 18s
if i was going for a show car, get 20s with an amazingly low drop

If you go with 19s and a non runflat tire, you'll get the best of a lot of worlds. You'll get a MUCH improved ride over the run craps. If you get a wheel such as HRE, you'll still save a lot of weight over stock 18s. You get a nicer look, and not compromise the performance of the car at all. Actually with the weight savings and softer grippier tires, you could possibly argue that the performance is enhanced as well as the ride. Stay away from L-Sportline wheels. Just my $.02!!!

I say go with 19's and fat tire set-up. Best of both worlds. Looks and ride comfort. 18's way too small for this car, slab sided panels too tall...they gobble up the wheels. 19's give you some performance, a great look, comfort and a little cheaper than dubs. Don't forget to stagger those wheels.
