Hi, Panos, do the original Hyundai wheel nuts fit the Braid wheels ok or are other wheel nuts needed?
Can anyone give me a pros/cons list of why you would go down to 18inch?
This is the first time I've ever looked at wheels, I'm wanting some track wheels/tyres that I can thrash and not worry about the drive home with.
I just still haven't found a reason why everyone (or most people I see on here) is moving to the 18 inch. Is it cost and weight related?

I use 18inch wheels for track use - tyres are much cheaper than the 19 inch size, the ride is slightly better on larger side walls and if you get the right wheels you can save some weight too which always helps with feel.
For me it was down to cost of tyres for track use
Just fitted some 18” OZ Ultraleggera in a lovely metallic graphite finish with AD08R tyres. Can’t believe how light they are to pick up and save 4KG per corner over the stock 19s!
Should make the car feel good on track next weekend!

Scottukl. Your car looks awesome, nice one.
Is it the 275bhp? Did you get front lip from ebay? Side red stripe from where??

Thanks very much - yes it’s the performance version.
The front lip is from a German seller on eBay and the side skirt inlays are from the N Sport shop, they are also listed on eBay at the moment.
It is very slightly less crashy with the taller sidewalls but the semi-slick tyres I use on the 18's (Nankangs and now AD08Rs) are quite noisy compared to the P-Zero's and PS4S which I ran on the 19s.
I never found wheel hop a big issue unless I stamped hard on the pedal from a standstill but the grip when the tyres are hot is incredible on dry roads now so you can nail it a bit harder without wheel hop.
I think 18 inch wheels with normal road tyres would give you a better ride.
Cool thanks. I am looking at Michelin PS4's. Pirelli's are £110 on line and Michelin PS4 are £140 each.
I preferred the PS4S to the Pzers's on the 19s as road tyres - loads of grip in the winter too I found so I will stick to those.
