Less wheel diameter, less weight. That's the general rule.

More wheel, higher tire cost. That's the general rule.

More wheel, more metal to bend. That's the general rule.

Chicks may dig the metal, but we men know that rubber will save the day. [Write that down]

I have the stock 18" Sahara wheels... I hate them. I'm a poor college kid and getting 18" tires is a BIATCH. I'm looking to buy a set of 16" or 17" stock wheels just to afford tires.

BUT if price isn't an issue, 18"s do look nicer.
