Anything which makes wheel cleaning less of a pain in the hoop is a good thing IMHO! regardless of the cost! Wish I'd specced ceramics on mine :-(

I've heard the exact opposite ... that ceramics can only be fitted with 19" wheels.

Anyone got ceramics and 18" wheels?

Anyone got 18" wheels even???

LOL.....only ever seen one car with 18's and that was an import.

I highly doubt you'd fit ceramics under 18's.

According to my quick (& very rough measurement) there's only about 1/4" clearence between the caliper & the 19" wheel. I think it would therefore be impossible to use 18" wheels with ceramics. I do seem to recall seeing it written somewhere......... Perhaps it was with regards to using snow chains.
