Help with wheels

Hi everyone,
I need some help with new wheels, and I have a couple of questions:

1)I want to buy 18" . Good or bad?
Do I feel A big change when I drive? (Car handling)

2)I actually love vossen cv3, but unfortunately they don't have that size and we don't have it in my country..

So I think I'm gonna buy some replicate wheels...
This is what I want to buy

Is it bad to drive with car like Brz on replicated wheels? Dangers?

Tnx

18s will brick your ECU and doors won't shut properly. You'll need to remove the rear seats due to rub.

1) 18s are fine. Plenty of people run 18 inch wheels. Your ride height will increase a tad (monster truck bro). You'll probably feel more grip on the road when using a tire comparable to the stock ones, this is due to the larger tire size you'll have to run therefore giving you an increased contact patch.

2) You didn't ask a question for this number.

In terms of quality, people are going to give you the "you get what you pay for" speech. Reps are fine in my opinion. Reps are heavy. Youll lose scene points. It depends on what you want to do with your car. Check the XXR 527/530 thread. Those are considered reps but many people run those, including me.

Sorry for being snarky, but a little search goes a long way.
