Pic request

Anyone got a pic of an evo with NT03m's in 17x8 +35 (the same size as the BBS's)? All Ive been seeing is 18's and I dunno if I wanna get 18s because the hiways around me are terrible, dont want a bent rim within the first week.

you can bend a 17" rim just as easy as an 18"

True, but less sidewall means a slightly bigger chance of a blowout or a bent rim, no? Im not saying that a 1" bigger rim is more prone to bending, Im saying theyre more prone to bending because of the fact that thered be a thinner tire on, so more of the impact would go to the wheel rather than having the tire absorb it.
