I am an accountant so i look always at prices first. You should compare the prices for 17 vs 18 rims but, you should also investigate the difference between 17 and 18 tyres.

Since you want to race i would suggest the 17. lighter, cheaper, smaller. also less money spent for replacing tyres after burnouts >wink.gif>

Some may say that i am cheap. Before you go any further you should keep in mind that i own 2 6gc, (one Curren and a GT4) and a diesel Mitsubishi Montero offroader fully loaded , so i am spending nearly all my money just maintaining these he he. Furthermore, as i live on a remote island with a s$itload of taxes and custom duties, we pay more than double for just about anything
we are talkin about an 98' st celica with stock transmisson. even 17'' s are big for your car. you ll burn your clutch in 2 months if you push your car with 18''. we talked too much with magic about 17'' or 18'' ( our cars is much powerfull then a st and we have sport clutch). he put 17''s, i 18''. ok to fill arc s of 6gc's we all should go for 19''. >biggrin.gif>
decide what you want first. nice loook only. or nice car.
if you put 18'' your car ll be like a donkey.
