Last time I checked tire prices (yesterday) it wasnt 50% more for 18" over 17" in same width...... That is a outdated opinion and wildly innacurate.
However, nothing wrong with 17" and if I was rocking the rota's instead of just powdercoating stockers (lets face it, IX OEM rims are basically this) i'd want the 17" to keep weight down.
They look great on the car and IMHO EB is a hard color to get good looking rim colors for, and you did this right!

Another question....any rubbing or fender rolling? What suspension you running? I pulled the trigger on some cr Kai replicas also, drag dr31 17x9 +28. They're not installed yet but test fit and mine seem to clear the front calipers fine. I also plan to run stock tire size.

^^ send me pics of those wheels!! i almost bought them, but was hesitant because i didn't think they would have the concave look i was wanting.
i'm on hotchkis springs and gsr shocks. there's no rubbing on the actual fender, (non rolled) but some rubbing on full-lock turning on the fender liner. not really a big deal.
