I've been looking quite a bit at both 17" and 18" stock polished 5 spokes to upgrade my 3 spoke to. I was hoping i could get some input from the list as to what people prefer and why. Putting aside the fact that 18" tires are currently cheaper, please tell me why you'd prefer one wheel over the other, or what the benefits of running a 17" vs 18" or vice versa. I'm pretty torn between the two designs, I like the 18" for the large spokes and clean lines, but at the same time like how 17" have their lugs hidden and the ribs within the wheels. I've scrounged a couple of pictures from the galleries for comparison.
