16's suit the car, the i8's look a bit aftermarket if u know what i mean?

18's may lok nice but depends on whch ones.

Well geese, there's your answer :D
They did look nice at Southend but may i remind you how you was moaning about it tramlining and slipping about everywhere :D
They did spin up nice tho as you was going sideway's down the see front :rock:

16's for sure. Because they are black you cant really tell the size difference like you can with a more 'obvious' silver wheel, the 18's dont really look that much bigger to me, and it'll handle much better.

Lovely car tho mate, loving the red/black whell combo, and a nice job on the rocker cover and plenum.
