18" or 19" rims. Full paint jobs can cost all the way up $5000 or more..Depending on what color and if you want graphics or airbrush work on it.Thats them taking out your engine and taking apart your doors and all the emblems, trunk lid, hood off and what ever else that can come off your car, so they can paint all the parts better. Some people go all out and strip the whole car inside and out.All depends on what you want.

my paint job for my red z24 cost 2000 and red isnt cheap...... also if you have 16's stock then i would get 17 or 18's .... shouldnt slow you down much to make a difference. i have 17's and i dont feel a difference.

Get some 26's!!!

My buddy ran his s-10 with 18's and then with stock 16's and there was barely any difference at all.

5 people in here so far said they wouldn't so thats not everybody . It wont be anything noticeable. Just remember its a sunfire not a racecar so it doesnt really matter.

you can get fairly light weight 17" and 18" rims...

Yeah, the weight is more of a factor than just the size. A light 18 will have less of an effect than a heavy 17.

If they're the same weight, the 18's will have a bigger effect based on the distance of the majority of the mass from the center of rotation.

But I don't think you're looking for a physics lesson here.
