17 vs. 18" wheels
 
With motorsport dropsprings and Koni how much what are the pros and cons with going with a 17 or 18 inch rim (of course the 18s look better)? Any suggestions?

the only real decision you need to make is how much ride quality do you want to compromise, 18's of course will be a rougher ride because of less sidewall to compress during impact. They will both work as long as the offset is within range.

With both the drop springs and the 18's you could have some rubbing on tight turns.

My SVX has both the drop springs, koni's and the 18" rims, no problems at all even on sharp turns. The only issue I've had is if you hit a large pot hole the rim(s) will be bent...I have a friend who repairs them, so I've been lucky it's cost me nothing.
