I'd say go with the 17's, I know everyone has their own taste but IMO these cars just don't look right with huge pimp daddy rims on them, and Mad_Mike is right the bigger wheels you go the more it bogs the car off the line. But this is coming from a guy who bought aftermarket 16's so take it as you will....

i'd say get the 17x10 in the rear and 17x8.5 up front since they don't offer
17x9...i would have chosen those over the TTM's if they weren't so much more expensive.
