17s?? No offense, but with a 430 i'd personally go at least 18". General rule for me has always been 2" more than stock, so i think it'd take at least 18" if not 19" for you to really notice a difference. Just my $.02

agreed...19s look the best and 18s are nice. I would like some c55 18s, but they seem hard to come by....for a reasonable price.

I am not soo worried about the look...I had 19s that I traded for 18s that I will keep. But I want the performance back. My 18s wobble a bit due to them not clearing my bbk. it is not bad, but I am **** with the performance. Plus the smaller rims...same width tires will help me on the track...I like to run her a'bit.

I'm not sure if I read your post right, but if you wanted same width tires, the C32 wheels are staggered like the stock 430 ones

all I want is an 18 that will clear my front C32 brakes for a reasonable price. I tried C55 rims, but cannto find any under about $1500, thus C32 17s seemed like a nice alternative.
