I like the 18" wheels and it would be great if that helped with the development of tires for my 18" wheels (which is the supposed reason), but the extra weight and different tire dynamics could make it too expensive to adopt.

I don't think the 18" wheels would be able to curb as hard as the 13"

Believe I heard that Mansell was one of the stewards. Ata boy Nigel.

The 18" actually look quite good in motion

The 18's don't look all that bad. Of course it will take some time getting used to them, but they look pretty nice. Now that I've seen so many pics of the 18's, whenever I see a side-by-side comparison of the current 13's, the 13's look like donuts haha.

Pirelli wants to go with even bigger 19's and 20's...I don't know about such big sizes, but I'll hold off judgement until I see them in action.
