Ok, I need help quick, I have the option to buy brand new konig monsoons 17x8 with no tire for 450 shipped, or I can also buy 18x7.5 that have been slightly curbed, but they also have 3 80% tires and one that needs replaced for about 650 shipped. So what do you guys think, how do 17s vs 18s look on the fd? I was thinking about maybe buying the 17s and then maybe buying 2 wider ones later. But Im thinking the 18s would look badass, plus I would then i wouldnt have to have 4 tires put on and balanced........ decisions 
edit: If I got the 17s, would the stock tires off a 16" inch rim fit? how does that work?

Well, Id probably be willing to spend a 800-900 on wheels and tires, so im pretty much limited to used rims off of ebay or other sites. I really like the look of having wider rear tires with a big lip on them. So the problem with the monsoons is the 18s only come in one width, does anyone have pics of these rims on an rx7 or a supra?

Why would you put a narrower wheel on? You already have 8 in. wheels.
Konig's are cheap meaning they will bend easily. So I say if you really want them then get the 17's instead of 18's so you have a little more tire to deaden the impact of bumps and stuff.

Opps, I didnt mean 800-900 for both, i meant around 1500 for both, but thats only if i decide to not try and peice together a used single turbo setup from a parts dealer in japan. So ive decided to wait on wheels, definitly not get the monsoons though. I didnt know the stock tires were 8 inches wide......

you seem like you really want these konig wheels, if you're really gunna buy a set, buy the cheaper one, that way if they bend or something, you wont get too mad, i recommend saving up for a lil while longer and buying worth while rims,........ and i dont think 7.5" will cut it for you single set up plans
