Standard 01 VRS

Not looking to lower it for various reasons.

Going shopping for alloys next month, is it better to stick with 17"s or should I switch to 18"s

It's all down to personal preference. 18s will give a harder ride - though I went from 16s to 18s and didn't think it was much worse.

I think 18s are a good size and suit the car well.

I would go 18's personally. Fill the arch more and still give good ride.
