show me your classic on 18's
 
looking at new wheels and wondering wether to go for 17's (got them at the min) or 18's. so can you post up some pics to help me decide please. also any comments on going from 17-18's would be usefull, do they adversley affect the handeling.

always thought that 18's looked a bit big on a classic, look just right on some :)

did hear about not going over 17's to keep the handling sweet though, don't know how true that is............

Lucky enough to have 2 sets of Prodrive PWRC's

mmm, so general consensus is they don;t affect the handeling but some folks have had issues? would this be a geom setup issue rather than a mechanical issue (for lack of a better description)
