18s on a WRX "Bug" - car is fitted with TEIN springs (I know not standard, but gives you an idea of how it looks):

Why would you go with 17's?? as I'm after some 10" wide rims but tempted to go with 17's due to easier fitment with offset. I have been told they would look rubbish on a newage car so its got me stumped.
