Those look pretty nice. The whole car looks nice actually. That pic makes me want to tint my windows. BTW, the color of your car looks darker than factory belize, similar to mine. Did you have it resprayed?



No that is the original paint.

Quoting BluFalcon:
Go with the 17's. 18's look kind of ridiculous on the car.


In my opinion I don't think 18" or 19" wheels looks ridiculous on our cars.

here are the Evo 5's I had on 501. The second pic was 847 on 18" Konig Imagines. There is always going to be "those" guys who arent going to like the bigger wheel. Good thing you buy what YOU like and not what "others" may think looks good on your car.

^^^^^^^ Well said. I have 18's on my car, I don't think they look ridiculous, and I've never had anyone tell me that either. My Galant also spent the first 5 of the 10 years I've owned the car on NYC streets driving around on 17 3 piece Racing Hart C5's and Rays Gram Lights with no flats and that includes numerous trip back and forth to North Carolina.

My car is also able to pull .96 lateral G on those 18's albeit on 225/40 Toyo RA1's.

17s because they came with the car, but I prefer 16s to save some weight.
 

I got one too

I ran both on my car, and I prefer 17's because it gives you a smoother ride. The 18's, I feel are too hard. Unless my old Koni/Eibach's just suck.
