Egads. You drive on 18's. How uncouth. On track, away from sensitive or impressionable young minds 18's are sublime. But amoung the civilized image is everything good sir and anything less than 19's is unethical, uncouth and uncivilized. Change has come to America and me thinks you need sensitivity training

Horses for courses, old bean - horses for courses.

My Z will never touch a track, so larger wheels (like yours) are perfect for the poseur (must say I like your sig pic).

ps - I must say that my 19" LMGT4's handle at least as well as the stock 18" forged Rays and they are just as light + give as good a ride over rough ground. In addition, they give me a little more traction in the damp. However Joey, this is not to undermine anything you've been claimimg for 18's in general - you're making very good points.

Cherio old chap

I agree with Joey perspective as well just giving him some ribbing I jsut happen to see both sides of the equation and find that the perfect compromise that will not get anyone knickers in a bunch is to have 18's for track use and larger sizes for the car when it hits the streets for everyday usage unless of course the Z will only be used for tracking.
