Nothing wrong with buying from tirerack... just please shop around for a good prices. A wheels from tire rack could be cheaper somewhere else.

But this question is very vague... ask you can see from other member posts, 18" is always recommended. 17" just to small for our cars.

If it is me I would hold off and then get an 18" or you can get it now and sell your old setup

PS that red car look amazing..( blowing zanity's ego)
