I think 18's are way too big.

Yup, Trey is right, and we been thru this before on an earlier thread.
If it is solely for show, then maybe, but if you plan to drive this car, and I hope that is the case, ditch the 18's.

I don't think Racing Harts look the great on R's, so a change wouldn't hurt. If you're the type who likes to change things constantly- I understand- get the arowspeeds. Did you roll the fenders? Or do you just not mind the rubbing?

I had Enkei "Zenkei" 18's on my ITR, 215-35 tires, no rubbing, but they made the car feel sluggish (that was before the turbo). They also looked too riceboy for me. I don't know what I was thinking wasting all that money on that. In retrospect, I wish I had the 2300 I spent on that, and now I could use it to get standalone. Oh well.

Sit aside the fact that they're 18" (way too big IMO) I definitely wouldn't ditch a set of Racing Hart's in favor of Aerospeeds. I don't there is any comparison in quality between the two.

I once again have to voice my opinion on behalf of 18's. they were on my r when I got it. And I have no reason to take them off.

How about $60 per tire ($240) MORE for a set of 18" tires plus the decreased performance? Seems like good reasons to me. I can almost buy a set of 4 tires for $240 for 15's and they make my car faster.

I wanted 18's but my choice is still either mugen 16 inches or 17 inch te-37's
no arospeed... don't!! this is a type R...

18's are too big. The ITR is a race car not a show car cruiser. Light weight 16's x 7 are a good option.
But what do i know!!!

besides too big, please consider about the theft thing. Stock wheels are good...[/quote]
