Haha, no you don't. Trust me, anything over 17" is ridiculous and not meant for a lot of torque and horsepower. 18's and above are horrible for racing and competitive driving.

Right, What why Corvettes, Porshs and Ferraris all run under 17" rims. I think the Burgatti Veyron is stepping back to 16's next year.

18" on a 3.4L is overkill, IMHO.

I think it looks pretty sweet. But that's me. I'd rather have a nice set or 17's with a wide tire but 18's are nice too

Ok guy's your going to have to help the old man out. 18" rim are make the car go around corners better? what does the rim size have to do with the power the car has? The over all diameter effects the power but not the rim size. Infact if you are building a drag car you want smaller rims and larger tire to get a better launch so I ask "how is 18" rims over kill on a v6"?

Gorn is right lol
i think the rim size is good. im gettin new rims eventually and 18s is about right. the thing im worried about most is the weight reducing my power but since it is a 3.4 i dont think i was winning many races anyway lol
