Whatchu guys think about track rims?

Alright guys I'm at work and currently day dreaming about track rims since I'm planning to attend soon or some what this year.

So, I want track rims, but I don't know what'd be nice or good.

So I'm thinking about either CE28N's in bronze, Work emotions, or some TE37's

or some other ones!

I'd post pics, but I'm lazy right now. But I'm here for the specs and stuff so let me know what you guys think!

Also, I'm considering 18's unless you guys can persuade me otherwise. Thanks!

Race tires are cheaper with 17's than 18's, so that's something to consider. Either way, get the right widths/offsets to accomodate the tire sizes you want.

I'm curious about how handling will be w/ like 17's and blah blah. I know if I got 17's I can afford stickier tires... but I rather have 18's or 19's cuz I'm a look *****.
