Hello First post here. The car in question is mine, and they do indeed look like poop with the huge wheel gap.
But as others have said, 3 seconds is 3 seconds, especially on a 1:40 roadcourse.
The 18" setup proved to be a worthy track mod, but this year my new setup is Volk RE30 19x10 +30 and 19x11 +25 with Hoosier R6 295/315
I changed to the 19" setup not for looks but for a better tire setup. The Michelin Sport cups worked quite well but proved to have more understeer than I care for. With the new Hoosier 295 and 315 on the 19" RE30s should help reduce a lot of the understeer I was having and I'm very excited to try the new setup in a few weeks at my local roadcourse.
I'll be sure to post my results here, I am from the US btw (damn yanks) but love the australian car scene and your roadcourses too!
And yes, the Rossi helmet was good for 1 second faster laps of course. Heh, gotta love it. Good eye to whoever noticed my helmet. I have 6 of his helmets and many many Rossi minichamps (all of them that have come out to date, to be exact). You could say I'm a big fan, but of course Stoner is an AMAZING rider as well.
Take care mates, and I'll try my best to remember to come back and post more pics and results with my 19" RE30 setup.
