I've been torn between getting something like the Federal RSR, Star Specs, NT05, etc for the 18s. But considering how much 18" tires are, and how quickly I'll burn them commuting, it's not worth it, I figure it'll be cheaper in the long run to keep my 17x8 RPFs and mount some sticky 140-180 treadwear tres on them, and some decent but not great, mid-range treadwear tires on the 18" RPFs. That also means narrower for lower weight, and to ease fitment.
Down he road I'd like to pick up another daily and turnthe 04 into a track whore, and stuff some 285s under a full set of flares
