Re: Opinions on these wheels
Speccie...
Some observations...
18 inch rubber hoops are hopelessly overpriced in kiwiland - and given the spec of your vehicle I'd be looking at premium hoops. I've seen a number of tests (and had tested a few different tyres myself) and skimping by buying a no-name brand is defeating the purpose of purchasing an ultra high performance tyre. I'm running a combination of S03s and SportContact 3's and when the SportContact's are due for replacement I'm looking at over a grand for two 205/50/W17 S03s...
The other thing about 18 inch wheels is the addition of unsprung weight compared to say a 17 inch with a higher profile - and also ride quality. I'm getting older and while I don't expect to be running around on a cushy cadillac platform I don't expect my fillings to be rattled driving down the main street...
