Default 18 inch wheel? Yes or no?

Any benefits of running 18s in the rear? I want a street radial setup on rears and so many more options with an 18.. I know it would be lighter so less unsprung weight but is it worth it? I see the only 10 second rcf is running 18s in rear.. so I'm curious. Will it look good you think? Perform? Need your guys inputs!!

Yes, less unsprung weight is beneficial. However, I don't believe you can fit 18 inch wheels on the RCF because it would not clear the brake calipers. 19 inch is the minimum you can go for.

18s should fit in the rear, but not in the front.

I don't think so. 18s would look way too small on the RC F body.
