Has anyone had any luck finding a manufacturer of 18" run flats? I want to go up a size on my S, but i certainly don't want to drive without a spare or run flats. I have been told that no one makes 18" run flats. Any suggestions? If any one is interested, take a look at MOMO GT2 wheel. Looks really, really sharp!

I have 18's on my MCS. I also had 18's on my Dodge Neon for about 2 years. I carry a can of fix a flat with me to get me to the nearest station if i do get a flat. The only time you would have a problem is if you have a serious blowout and the run flat wouldnt help there either. Taht is why they have the roadside help also.From what my dealer said they dont care if you havedifferent tires on it.Go for the 18's and a can of fix a flat.

Just my 2 cents
