i nearly broke mine, and they were 17s so i wouldn't attempt any speed over 80 with 18s unless you have money to buy more

Hehe...

I've gone over 110 MpH with my 17" RHs, and its bumpy but I don't think they were even under stress. After all, they're forged .

I was up to 138 with 18" adr's and that was with the CF hood, whoever said not to go over 110 without hood pins on a CF hood is crazy. Who needs hood pins?

If you're calling BS on NoHalo, pay closer attention... 180 KPH= 180 Kilometers per hour.. I think a kilometer is somethin like .6 a mile sooo, somewhere over 100 mph

I remember when my buddy got his Mercedes AMG with the 18" wheels on it. $80,000 car! SWEET!! But that sticker in the glove box, It read..

SPEEDS OVER 80 MPH ARE NOT RECCOMENDED WITH WHEEL SIZES 18 INCHES OR MORE.

dubbs?? Those twenties, not 18's or 19's.

Some cars that come stock with 18's. Ferrari 355, Ferrari 360 Modena, Lamborghini Diablo 6.0, BMW M5, Mercedes CL55 etc. etc. etc.

The moral is, it's not the wheels, it's the suspension components, the tires, the quality of the rim, and the car that allows you to do it.
