Thanks people ... I appreciate the feedback

I'm looking for a set of 6 spoke wheels staggered...

How can I get in contact with this matty about these wheels ?

Will I loose much performance out of my car if I buy 18s ?

He posted right above your post

Like I said if the 18s are light enough you won't notice much difference. If they're heavy you'll feel it.

See here, and click the envelope icon under his name: https://www.s2ki.com/...18-buddy-clubs/

18s will make your car ride and handle worse, especially if they are heavy, so you will lose something, but if looks are more important to you, then don't worry.

People say 18s will ruin the handling, I have 18s on mine and I lover it, don't think they look too big at all. I'm not goner ever track my S so I'm goner stick with my 18s.

18s look too big on S2ks

The 18 inch Buddy clubs with tyres weigh exactly the same as oem 09 wheels.The reason I know this is because I originally bought 18 inch Gram lights for my car which weighed slightly less but the offset was way out.At the time the weight of the wheel was important to me, obviously it isnt now hence the reason ive got Rotas.

So with the Buddy clubs weight isnt a factor.

Wider 17s ideal I guess.

Those 18s look great, I agree though they has to really be zero arch gap. That pic almost reminds me of an Aston Martin for some reason, the proportions do look great in that shot.

Mine is only lowered about 15-20mm and they are 18". I prefer a bit of arch gap.

They actually look good...sensible height too.

Whether or not the ride comfort has been reduced is a matter of opinion though
