Our Question of the Week this week is, which is better, 17 inch wheels or 18 inch wheels?

When the time comes to pick new wheels for your Subaru, one of the questions that comes up often is whether or not you want to stay with the size wheel that your car came with, or go to a different size.

Most commonly for WRX or STI owners, this means looking at 17 inch or 18 inch wheels. So which is better?

Jon and Dylan talk about when it might be better to stick with the same size wheel, and when you may be better off or need to step up to a larger wheel and tire.
