This whole 'bigger is better' for wheel sizes is stupid. What real benefit does an 18" wheel provide over a 16"? (aesthetics not included, as that is just an opinion) An 18" wheel is much heavier, putting additional stress on all your suspension components. It's also more expensive. If you don't buy the appropriate lower-profile tire, which is also more expensive, then you just effectively slowed your car down by changing the gear ratio. Plus your speedometer will be inaccurate.
