That's a shame. The tyre sized used by Supercars (previously 280/680 R17 [width/diameter in mm], now 280/680 R18?) is very common, NZV8s use a Hankook in the same size IIRC. it is a pity there isn't more diverse tyre brand usage possible.
With respect to the 18" wheels, it is a pity they all the same, and we haven't had the wonderful diversity of designs like with 17" Group 3A touring car wheels -- the transitional Team Dynamics control 17" wheel from 2010-2012 (IIRC) will remain a collectable novelty I guess, but not nearly as stylish as sleek and much loved Italian & Japanese & German & indeed Australian designs used in the free era of wheels!
To think that once upon a time some 5.0L, and Group A before them, touring car competitors even used glorious two-piece mesh wheels!
Talk about style!
