Anyone know if these are 17s or 18s? This pic is from the OZ Racing site.

 

It's probably a photoshop to be honest....


But it looks like 17's

 

Trying to decide on 17" or 18" Ultraleggeras....

 

What are your criteria?

 

Handling is key. I drove a JCW car that had the JCW suspension, the 18" JCW wheels and runflats. It was a bit too rough for me but i suspect thats because of the combination of all three.

I suppose the question is, what are the performance pros and cons of the sizes? I do not plan to use runflats.

Anyone have a pic of a car with JCW brakes that runs similar 18's?

 

for exceptional handling, and acceleration...paired with price and the ability to run the JCW brakes.....i would say neither, get 16s for the performance.

18s are bling and nothing else.

 

But with those OZ's, you can have your bling along with decent performance. The 18 ULs are only 16lbs. I personally dig all the feedback from a low profile tire on a big wheel. I run SL 18s with non-runflats and JCW suspension. 80 miles a day and loving it.

 

From what I've heard, the 18 lo pro non-runflats are typically about as rough as the 17" runflats...Haven't had a chance to drive a non-runflat car though...

 

I found the stock 17 runflats to be a bit harsher than the non-runflat 18s.
