Default New Wheels and Pics (sorta newbie)

Hey, thanks to all the guys who helped me on my "tire help" post. As I explained in that post my I'm in need of some new tires and after looking around I thought it might be a good time to get some new wheels while I'm at it!

I have a couple of questions:

1) To the ppl with 18" wheels, how is the ride on those? I currently have 17s and notice a little "tramlining" occasionally

2)If any1 would like to share pics of they're nice wheels to help me in my decision of which wheels to get?

Thanks in advance!!

Thanks guys!

Yeah the only reason I'm thinking of getting new wheels is because the back left wheel is scratched up and yeah need new tires anyway so thought if I see some nice wheels might get a good wheel/tire package.

Oh yeah, and those wheels aren't genuine cups either, they were on there when I bought the car so not exactly sure of the brand but mechanic told me they weren't "the real deal"

I Love the wheels but your damn steering wheel is on the wrong side of the car! What a freak show.

scratches are fine, makes em more de$ireable to me as they tend to be cheaper with blemishes. well, not the real deal you say? i think i'd settle, seriously if you'd like to get rid of em i'll toss a few hundred your way towards your new wheels.

let me know!

thanks
