17s or 18s 3door
Okay, ive decided on the wheels I want for my car but not sure what size to get. They are 2 go on a 3door and was wondering if 18s would be but would I compensate my handling for the bigger wheel???
Or would 17s be best, handling my main concern.

all depends on how the cars set up i think
if you just slap 18's on a 3dr with coilovers and thats it, its probably going to handle like shit. Were as 17's would be better
But if you do the necessary's i reckon they can be just as good
As Alvyn says its all down to personal prefence
