I've been eyeing a new set of rims from Wedssport that were to be released this fall only to find out that they color that I want would only be available in 18", yeah bummer. I tried to do a search for 18' wheels in this forum but couldn't find much so I'm asking anyone who's run 18" rims to kindly post a pic of their car so I can decide if I should jump the gun and downsize. Thanks in advance guys!

Also a shout-out thanks to Josh from Meraki for helping me in my wheels search.

If these wheels are for your DD, you probably want them to look nice, on 19" ISF look better when picking rims for DD.

These are 18" PF01's in Black:

im with you on that question. I'm about to pull the trigger on some LC818's but that is 1 of the most un original ideas especially with the ISF. 18's would be nice get a nice 40 series tire also👍

Was curious also about how 18s will look on my car so I swap my SC wheels on my F. I stopped after swapping one wheel. (F is stock height)

F needs 19 or 20 IMO.

On stock suspension. 18x9.5 +40 all around. 265/35/18 Michelin PSS.
No issues with rubbing. Dunno if it'll be an issue once I'm lowered, but from my research it should be fine with my specs.
If you're on stock suspension and care for aesthetics then you probably won't like the huge cap up front. I personally don't care for aesthetics.
Unfortunately I don't have a full side profile shot but i think this gives you a good idea.

19s came with the car. They look great and perform well. I have 18s that are waiting to be mounted and know that it won't look as good as my setup right now, but the decrease in turning radius and rotational mass and larger selection of tires (and cheaper at that) outweigh the aesthetic perspective. I like kzlflash's setup, as it's clearly geared for more track activity but still has a nice look for street driving. Yes, the gap is large in the front, but it's functional and doesn't even look bad IMO.

18's for the win. Their beauty results from their improved functionality.

Most everyone who develop parts to run these cars hard on a track use a light 18 x 9 1/2" rim. In addition to greatly reduced rotational inertia, the square setup reduces understeer and potentially allows for longer tire life (4 wheel rotation).

Mine are going on next week with lca bushings (no pics available yet). Keeping the all season Bridgestones on the stock 19" rims for the rainy season.

I personally love the look of the 18s on my ISF. I think the extra tire looks more aggressive...cheaper and performs better as well.
