Then don't get them. I choice 18s b/c at the time the higher performance cars like the M5 and E55 had 18" tires. If the engineers at M/AMG figured those sizes were good enough for them, it was for me. My driving style is aggresive in the 400/430 and I love how my 18s handle/hug the road and I'll give up some "looks" for superior performance.

18s can look awesome if car is low and the rims have aggressive widths and offsets. if you look in the Japanese VIP mags there are LS's and things running 18s and they look awesome, but theyre usually like 10"+ all round and aggressive offsets so they have a lot of lip. i could scan some pics to show you guys but yeah you really have to do some research and be dedicated to run hardcore 18s on a big car
