You're probably going to have problems with 18" rims because tires will be pretty expensive. I'd go for 17"... they will be considerably cheaper. Not to mention that the tires will be less likely of rubbing.

if you do it right, you can do 18's and lower w/o problems. i wouldnt personally b/c of the weight, but ideally id have a set to ride around town on...

i think 17's can still look really big on our cars, we have such small wheel wells.

i think im gonna go with 17's...it will probly gimme a lot less hassle

The main popular 17" 5 spokes are the MAS Italy "President" models and the Moda "R6". They all come in the bolt pattern that we need with the correct offset.

[soap and bread]

yeah i was thinkin about the moda r6's...do they look good on 850's?

[Volvoson]

*Drools* Those look good on tirerack.com!

Those wheels are fairly heavy but man are they ever beautful. They will not disapoint you. As far as I know everyone who has them says they hold up very well against potholes and other perils on the road. They're also very popular over in europe as are the MAS Italys.
