Hi Callum.

Firstly do you have standard brakes on your car and if so are you thinking of upgrading in the future ??

Personally i found 18's on a classic didn't handle as well as my 17's.

Its all down to your particular taste as for choice of wheel, Superleggras do suit the classic shape well in my opinion and they weigh next to nothing which is a bonus, though they might be harder to get hold of now that the ultraleggra replaced them.
