well yes, but look at touring cars like mercedes and opel race cars. all those euro racing cars have huge rims with huge tires and wide body kits. lambos and mclarens come with massive rims. like i said SOME race cars have big rims and some dont. and super cars also have big rims. so if you buy quality rims you can go big without sacrificing the weight. in my defense i didnt see that you were talkin about 18s. thats a fine size. if the car comes with 19s or 20s i wouldnt mind but i will not go over 20s. sorry, i thought you were defending and planning to use 16s and below on the camaro
