If you prefer function to looks then I'd recommend you move to a standard 17" alloy/tyre mix (or even 16" come to that).

Not tried 18" myself but there are quite a few posts of owners complaining of poor handling & ride. This is made worse by the fact that on-board systems like ASR/ESP (if you have it) was never designed for this size of wheel.

Only problem I have is the slight discrepancy on the speedo, if there is one, e.g. speedo reads 85, sat-nav says 82, only noticeable on speeds over 50mph.

Have noticed the same thing with my 16s. I don't think there's actually many speedos out there that are properly accurate all the way round the dial.

Oversized tyres would cause the speedo to under read your true speed so it looks like you have the correct profile tyres fitted to maintain near correct rolling radius on your 18's

I suspect the only problem you have is a rather rough ride

Haing it lowered doesnt help either

Yeah, I think he just used the wrong link. They do 17's as well and they don't look too bad... £99 a corner.
