Please can you show me your 18" alloys set up

Would it be possible for people to show me there set up with 18" wheels?
Whats suspension used?
What alloys inclusive of widths offset etc?
What tyres?
Some images would be great.

I appreciate this may have an adverse effect on handling so some feed back on that would be appreciated.

Thanks

Very nice,
The alloys look very similar to my favoured choice of OZ Superturismo.
Thanks for the info

Aristo's are perfect on the 6r!

The white on white looks great too,

Wow! Does this rub? How far is it lowered?

It does when I'm not careful. The front tire rubs somewere on the inner fender, I recon it will be far less once I move the screw that holds it to a different spot, might just give me the 2mm clearance I need.
I am always reading the road for bumps and it's not that bad, just have to be careful

Can't have more than 1 person in the back also, it will roll free but any bump higher than a coin will cause the fender to scrape the rear tire. Not my problem as no one ever sits there anyway

During everyday driving I rarely scrape, our highways and roads are really flat

Cool. Looks really good but I'd personally stick to 17.
