Just had some fine Italian shoes (wheels and tires) fitted this morning.

18" Mille Miglia HT3 Bright Silver
215/35WR18 Pirelli PZero Nero M&S

Both purchased from the Tire Rack (thank you tire rack, great service and speady delivery).

I'll post pictures later today.

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.

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.
