I would try 16" or 17" wheels before I took the plunge with 18" wheels.

I have supplied a few GTV6 owners with 'SZ18' wheels and they all had the same size: 7.5'' x 16'' and 8.5 x 16''
For the sizes I quoted they would cost £1,212 (plus airfreight of £400)
All wheels are custom-made to order and take about 5 weeks from confirmed order.
Price alone will keep me at bay for some time ...
Cheers,
Karyn
