I wasfinally turned to the dark side of the 18's when i talked to some tech at a garage i was at, who had 18's and he told me that his car moves like a piece of **** now. I knew that accelration would take a hit but is it that dramatic...pls be honest. how did it feel to you when you change over, more so 17 to 18.

btw the tech drives a euro spec audi A4
btw2 if anyone cares im thinking of getting the 18' OZ Antares. Im riding on 17'OZ Vela's now

Here's a couple of pics of my 18's. I didn't notice a huge affect on acceleration, but steering has greatly improved. You definatly can tell that there isn't any sidewall flex when u are going around a turn.

BTW, i have SSR Integrals and they weigh a little less than the stock 16's. Sorry i couldn't tell ya anymore.

I just had my Mas Lancia's installed the other day. 17" and really lovin' them:D. They look much bigger than my Monsoons because the spokes flare out to the rims edge.

Damn, those Integrals look nice. I was so close to buying them. Then I saw them on another car and didn't like them. I went to TSW Sting's instead. Very similar, but the spokes go all the way to the edge of the wheel. This isn't my car, but the wheels should be here in a few days.

went stock to 18"... (Konig Imagine which look sweet by the way) the change in acceleration was noticable..... a bit sluggish even in lift, but the cornering was even more noticable..... hard core I feel like I can carve turkeys now!

I considered the TSW Sting's, but they only come in 19" and up, I believe.
