Benefits of 18" Wheels
Larger wheels have become increasingly popular, as most auto manufacturers equip their vehicle’s with 18 inch wheels as standard. That said, you’ll typically find that the higher you go up on the trim, the bigger the wheel diameter gets. However, 18 inch wheels are still a viable option, especially for those interested in track driving and performance-oriented fitments. Some benefits of custom 18 inch wheels are improved acceleration, braking and traction in all aspects of driving, lighter weight in comparison to bigger wheels (especially if opting for Flow Forged wheels), and a more universal fitment suitable for most cars.
