You probably won't find a car with 18" wheels sitting on any dealer lot, pretty much special order only.

When I ordered my car, the dealer said he needed a $5K deposit, only because I wanted the 18" wheels, as the car would be "difficult to sell," if I didn't end up taking it. Just goes to show how far this large diameter wheels/low profile tire madness has gone.

That's funny. Car deposits are refundable by law in CA.
I didn't see your build in your prior posts. Are you running Airmatic or MBC?? I'm curious to know if there's much difference with these suspensions on 18's.

I got MBC. I had 18's & ABC on my 2013 & loved it. I'm a ride quality freak and want the very best I can get, so for me, ordering a car without MBC was not an option.

You are correct, and I'm quite sure I could have gotten my deposit back, had I canceled. I think it's a way of getting their point across that you will be saddling them with a car they don't want. No big deal anyway, as I knew I wanted the car.

No, I never drove a non MBC car with 18's. Such cars, for the most part, do not exist on dealer lots and secondly, I just wanted my car with MBC and was not interested in comparing.
