I'll second Irish's post 100%. the 18s are too heavy for track use, and the tires are more expensive. if you're going to be doing road course events, you're going to start spending lots of $$$ on tires. the cheaper they are to replace, the better. The difference bet equal tires in 17" and 18" For Nitto NT-01 is $47 each on discount's site. that's $188 a set.... when I was running R comps on the Maxima, I was going through a set a weekend at the track, so that's $132 a weekend I'm "saving" right there based just on the tires!
back to the point, I recommend picking up a set of decent 17" x 8 or 8.5" wheels and some good track tires.. then throw the cheapest all-season tires on the 18s you can.
