lot of arch work need for 18's. Not worth doing due to turning circle will be shit. but will look nice. Hope you have saved up the big bucks!

This will look way OTT and stupid. The "in" look this year is simple, euro styling with 15" or smaller wheels and some nice simple bodywork and completely smoothed. But if you like the look of these items, by all mean do it, since you will be the one driving it.

17s slow ya car down. have them on me 1.2 but they look nice. turning is okay-ish and u can drop it 40mm no probs..
if u get alloys get some nice ones. try checking out the new oxygemn range. they are pretty nice

nope its all good...
to be honest if you want 17s u can lower 40mm and face no real probs. 18s ur gonna be asking for trouble unless u pay for the work.
end of the day how many times do you need full lock? well i hardly ever and its only slight.

If you are getting a 1.2 8v, 1.0 12v, forget any performance with anything larger than 15's.

i'd agree with going for a real nice set of 15's, lower it & keep it smooth & subtle lookin
