    I've got 18x6 and 16x5 on mine with excelsior tyres. I reckon using 18s instead of 16s doesn't make the front rim look bigger than the rear with that tyre choice. IMG20190520094638.jpg

    If you have a look on the inside of the solid rims it has the same pattern as these. [​IMG]

    How did you balance them ?
    Only on the insid , with selfadheasing weights ?
    How much did you need to balance them ?
