Who's running 18" wheels? Pictures!!

I'd just like to see who's out there that thought 17" wheels..."just are not big enough"
I just don't want to think I'm the only crazy one out here.


18" Zinik 215/40/18 Pirelli P Zero Nero (stock suspension)


Hamann PG4 18" 215/35/18 Pirelli P Zero Nero (SPAX coilovers)

I will be running 18" Sportmax 920 wheels in a hyperblack finish, once the shop can finally get these them stock . 6 weeks and counting, and no wheels from the importer. grrrrrr...

Anyway...Here's a pic with the test wheel sitting on a stand, with a black canvas cover on the rear, resting beside the car. The photo is a little out of alignment to accurately complete the illusion of the wheel being on the car, so the tire looks like a rubber band. The pics don't do the color justice....they look like painted grey in this pic. Not at all how they look in person.





Test fit of the one wheel (ordered for the test fit around the brakes). It fits with a 5 mm spacer. So much better than the 20mm spacer I have mounted now, in order for the s-lite rims to clear the brake calipers!

I like this 18" Wheel package for $999 + free shipping.

The LY MCS with Works 18" wheels and BRG/W MCS with Black/silver lip 18" wheels are both good examples-

Is it common for you guys to run 18" for Show, and 16" or 17"'s for Go? I mean like, at the track, or auto-xing, etc.?

18"'s deffinitly look smart, but I'm guessing you lose a bit of performance, correct?
