I thought about going with 17s, but I admittedly decided to go with 18s as a nod to aesthetics. That said, the 18" wheels and tires I'm adding will weigh 6.75 lbs. less at each corner than the stock 17x7" wheels with lousy 205/50-17 RFTs, so it's all upside.

Given my goals for this car, I doubt I'll make any engine mods, but I'm still gathering info out of curiosity.
Factory parts with factory tune and factory reliability gets you to 265 hp. Parts are $400 used. That's impossible to say no to, imo!
