MALLETT WHEELS

For those of you with Mallett wheels, are stock rim sizes available for the C5? Does it make any sense to NOT increase the wheel size? If I go to 18" wheels at all four corners, do I need to modify the car in any way after the new wheels are mounted? Should I trust the wheel installer to align the car or should I give him specific alignment criteria? I know some of this is kind of open ended; however, I am trying to get a general feel for how deep I'm going to need to go if I change wheels.

Thanks in advance...

I can't speak for the alignment, but many, many owners have gone the 18" route all around with nothing special done to the car, and no problems.

not sure how much the mallet wheels are from mallet, but xtreme (supporting vendor) has the exact same wheel.
