18" Wheel Take Rate?
I see very few if any people who opted for the 18" wheel package. Has anyone received a car with the standard wheel? I'm curious about in-person impressions and ride/handling feedback. Opinions and pictures, please...

I am 99.9% sure no. The rolling circumference is the same. That's part of the purpose of going to a lower profile tire on a bigger wheel (the lower profile keeps the rolling circumference the same).

I want to see some decent pictures of them, I currently have them on my build but after seeing the 19's in person, I'm itching to switch. Hopefully some pics will stop that urge.

18s
The design is good, but just look too small on this car. I think 20s would be nice on this, though I thought that was oversized for the E9X.

Bump.
Really, no one has taken delivery yet of an 18" wheel package that they can share photos and impressions of? |

I have them ordered just for the purpose of using them as backup tires or snow tires because the money I would spend on the 19 inch option I`d rather go to buy new wheels eventually...
