Here's another one to add to the Ultraleggera 18" list. 18x 8 +48. I'll be very surprised if they don't clear Brembos given the amount of clearance there.

When I've uploaded the pics they're a bit small, so I'll look into settings or perhaps a different site to host them.

Yes it does need lowering, however I'll need a new house and workplace to do so.

what does :oops: mean? I don't speak internetz. Care to better articulate? I assume you don't like them but I'm interested in why.

To me the eyelid looks funny with the cutout wings around the projector, not a fan really but it's not my car.

IMHO 18" for street, 17" for track.

17" for street IMO unless you want to be a lemming. You're moving up from 16" if I'm not mistaken. Going to 18" is going to need 35 or 40 series rubber - a pretty poor compromise in grip, ride and handling. Those wheels you are looking at would still look very nice in 17", will be cheaper than the 18" version and will open to you a cheaper and wider range of very good tyres in 17"
