I'm sorry, you gotta get bigger brakes like NOW with the 18s!!!!!!

All kidding aside, what did you trade up from? How does the ride compare to runflats? BTW looks great.

>>This looks like waaaayyy too much sidewall.

Yet this is what Tirerack recommends for 16".

You'd have to be mighty ambitious to get 14-spoke wheels. I have 8-spokes and am lazy enough to be seriously considering 5-spokes. They look nice though.

The eighteens look cool.
