I would go with the 18s just because I have tein stechs on my car already and if I had the ground effects kit I would scrape my driveway and various other things on my way to work and school. The roads suck over here in VA.

Get the rims. I recently put my 18's and tires on and it was WELL worth it. The grip vs stock is huge with the PZero Nero M+S. Turn in is vastly improved as well.

Get the rims. Your NB tC will be more "personalized" with new rims. That way, your tC will not look like Aunt Hazel's-brother's-mother's-sister's-uncle's-second cousin's-dad's car. In other words, your tC won't look like all the others!

I got 18's back in May and love them! It also made me put off lowering my tC because the 18's take up a good amount of wheel well space. So, in the end, you might just get 18's & Lip Kit! Decisions...Decisions!

P.S. PZero Nero's are great tires!!!

I couldn't agree more. The rear pieces of the OEM kit are atrocious. Get the rims, you'll be much happier.
