It's likely out of my budget; however, I would like to know just in case.
If it is not too much trouble, I'd appreciate it.

Is that including the tire or just the rim?He answered 1554 shipped.

Im gomma bet just rim since the tire is probably 300. You cannot buy a custom rim for 1200. 1500 for the rim is a great buy.

My fear are these points:
1) you over inflate or the tire will overheat, it might expand enough to rub on that arm again. Rubbing will not cool it down.
2) since the wheel looks larger in diameter, it will influence how you sit on it, higher, making your handlebars lower, raising your butt. This, in turn, will make your grab on to handlebars with more strength leading to tired or even loss of feeling, buzzing hands, your horizon level might be affected to hold the head at a more awkward angle.
3) following the same thought, how it brakes, since one axle is higher than the other, perhaps, making the whole emergency braking experience way different, unlikely in a better way. ABS computer might do its braking through programming for a "stock" tire while applying incorrectly its pulses for this new size. The suspension will act differently, perhaps loading the front tire too quickly.
4) because the new wheel is heavier, you will suffer even worse MPG on low speed stop-n-go. Hope the weight will not affect the life of the final drive. Surely will affect the low end torque for worse.
5) because the new wheel is higher, you'll likely to often run out of suspension, hitting that cover above.

Tis within my willing toy cost for "YurMama"!
Now I MUST learn more!
Please? Is there a name, a web site?

At that price it must be gold plated. But a little narrower 18"x8" wheel would open up a whole lot of new tire options. If it wasn't for the $1500 rim.
