Hey guys, I've seen tons of posts about this already, but I really need to have this all kind of condensed into one thread. There's always someone who says they want 18's for the better ride quality. I've seen some pics of 18" CSL's and they do look kinda oddly awkward. Like the styling doesn't size well below 19" or something? So far, the pics I've seen, the tire looks like it's dwarfing the wheel. I actually don't WANT 19's, because I really really do want to keep a close to the stock ride quality as possible, but I also don't want my wheels to look stupid. Do the 18" CSL's really look strange or is it just bad cameras/angles? Can't find any HQ of 18's, maybe it's the quality.. What I DON'T want is to feel every got-dang bump on the road. These 17's on General Exclaims gliiiides over the road.

My tires just expired on me today, so I'm going to go ahead and order some CSL replicas.

Help ease my mind on a decision!

P.S. -> Staggered setup - 8.5" +40 (235)/9.5" +45 (265 or 255). Rear fenders cut.

If you get csl's they gotta be 19's in my opinion. There are some nice looking 18" options but the csl's just don't look big enough in 18's. Just look at the pics on this site, they don't lie.

well, we dont negotiate.... so I guess they win. You gotta wait brother, and I dont think you are the only one either. I had to wait almost a month for mine, and I got lucky that I was on the latest shipment. Now if I can get those danged xa coilovers
