As I said earlier:Quote from: am1w on 14 May 2011, 14:44Put it this way:Two women (or men), one not too attractive (17") but a good ride the other a stunner (18") but a reasonable ride.Which one would you go for?I know one thing, the doggy one would not give me a hard-on even though she/he was supposed to be a good ride. So it would be a waste.On that note, I'll have the stunner and have satisfaction guaranteed. Different strokes for different folks and all that jazz .....

Also repeating my post.18"s win in the looks department.17"s win in every other.Depends what you want from your car......
I've had an embarrassing amount of compliments about my car.Wearing 17" and proud of it

Missed out the bit about the stunner after a year or two turning into an old hag who has lots of wrinkle white lines and flaking skin all over her face and in desperate need of a face lift.
That's two more to add to the list. Quieter (proved by asker).Less breakaway (opinion from Hurdey). We already know 17"s are:FasterMore comfortableCheaper (and tyres)Much easier to repairLess likely to kerbNo white wormI wonder how many would have chosen the 17"s if they came in the same finish (with black inserts) as the Monza shadows??
Don't forget much better on fuel too I'd never have ordered my car with the 17's but after living with them I love them to bits, they never look dirty and I can get the new goodyears for 110 quid a corner fitted.....If I get another Golf GTD I'd stick with the 17's if I get a gti then I'd have to go for the 18's for the looks alone.
