I am about to pull the trigger on 18's on my SG. Although I love the look of the laced wheels, and the 16 inchers only have 1200 miles on them, I have the bug to spend the dough

My question though is how much worse the ride gets with the bigger rim, I had a set of 20's on my diesel Ford truck for a while and the difference from 18's was significant. Is it the same going to 18's on a bike?

Game plan is 18 x 3.5" for the front and 18 x 4.25" for the rear. Opinions?

Was wondering the same

 

Excellent ride/handling on Metzelers ~ 18" 140F/150R is a solid combo with no clearance issues.

Thanks guys, I have spent the past 10 minutes reading searches (which I probably should have done before I posted, sorry)

I am looking forward to it, the look is amazing going to a custom wheel and there deosnt seem to be a downside (except the pain in the wallet!)

 

If you like the laced wheels get them in an 18" I have got them on my bike with the Metzelers and I think the ride is much better then the stock 16" plus you get rid of the tubes.

 

I have Avon Venoms on 18x3.5 wheels and didn't notice a harsher ride. The venoms grip the rode much better than the stock treads did.
