How about a 18" wheel thread?

Everyone shows 18" rims does anyone have 18" rims that aren't factory? I would really like to see the Techarts in 18" black.

Thanks
guys

Merry Xmas

Funny how fat 18" tires look! Crazy! I guess I see to mant 19"-20" rims. Funny thing is I never liked anything bigger than 18" before I bought my turbo

No problems so far. Maybe they do better on the street, as you suggest.

Easier to see different 18" wheels on GT3s. There are plenty of those around. Usually guys with Turbos want bling and go with the 19"s...Anyway here's some:

Techart Daytona:









Gemballa 18" on a GT2:



Stock painted black with red lip:



Cargraphic 18":

BBS Racing 18":



The another Gemballa model in 18":





Anyway you'll find more pics easily...

18" is more for going fast (= having fun) while the 19" is a bit more for the pretty boys...
