17X10.5 or 18X10 bullitt wheels?
 
I was just wondering what most people like and for what reasons. I am trying to decide which size to go with. I have a 2003 Sonic Blue GT. I am wanting a Kenne Bell and around 400rwhp eventually. I want a fun street car (not a drag car). This into consideration which wheels should I go with for mainly looks but some performance if I need the traction? Also what tires should I go with if I get either one? Any help would be aprreciated! THANKS

Pffffft!

18's look way better but the tire cost is alot more.

For the street I would go with 17x9s up front and 18x10s in the back. Give it a nice rake look.

That would look pretty clean.

Yeppers, I agree 100%, 17x9s up front and 18x10s in back.

yeah, sounds like most people think that 18's are most peoples favorite, thanks for the advice!

hey "machnjo" do you have a better side view of those rims? I've always thought that the deep dish rims in the back usually make the front rims seem huge. example 17x9 front w/ 17x10.5 but you have 18's deep in back w/ 17's front and I'd like to see a better referrence pic.

Sorry, I don't often take just straight side shots of my car, this is the best shot I have, but its on uneven ground:

Up front I have 255/45 R17 KDW2s and in back are 295/35 R18 KDW2s. they're a lil pricey, but since I don't drive the Mach all the time, I plan on having them for a while.
