17 or 18 inch rims?

I have a 1998 Toyota Camry with just stock rims right now(15"s)

Would it be better to put 17"s on or 18"s

I drive really fast and I keep thinking that I will bend or really screw up the eighteen's.

Here is the picture of the rims I want to put on

They are Lexani Iris

with a rim like that, go as big as you can. It's a "show" rim and it'd look funny if it was proportionally small. 19s would be the best choice, but are prone to bending on crappy roads. 17s are too small. Go 18.

if you like to go real fast, i say go wiht 17's but get a different wheel that is not designed to be a show piece and one that is both light and strong, such as cold forged aluminum wheels

I dont know it shows red x's but you know how those other rims look so it doesnt matter no more but yeah ill go with those lexani Krystal in 18" or 19" dont go 17" in chrome cause it will look ugly unless you drop your car.

Too show for me. Go with something classy, stylish, and still somewhat track/streetable, but this is just my opinion.
