I can't comment on 18"ers, never having been in a car with them on, but the ride on my 04 with the new OEM 17" rims is noticeably harder than my 02 was, with the OEM 16" rims. Dunno how much of that is attributable to the wheels and how much to the suspension changes though.

I may be getting closer to receiving "management approval" (read partner!) for some 18" superleggeras.

For the folks that have 18" wheels already.........did you drop the car as well or did it look OK?. I was figuring having to get it dropped an inch or two to avoid any gaps or having the car look to high.

If you did, what did you use to drop it etc. etc.?.

Those Volks are proper bad lads.

If I was as rich as you Fletch, I`d have a set of those bad boys.
