I asked a Porsche Race engineer one time what's the advantage to larger wheels and he said "Z only advantage to z larguh vheels is larguh brakes, so if you dont have larguh brakes, you don't need larguh vheels." So can't you make an 18" that would fit over the brakes? Just curious...
It would be even lighter that's for sure... 18s are not going to fit over the PCCBs with this wheel sadly. I mean for those folks that want to use a race Hoosier tire etc... it's slim pickings in 18
