No joke, the day i drove away with my new wheels, it felt like i had just added a passenger. I instantly felt slower... It could be in my head, but i think not.

Of course it was not bad enough for me to put my 18s back on, because they look so much better. But if i could have the perfect 18 both weight and looks wise i would be happier.

Not to mention its cheaper on the tires.

If you don't plan on tracking the car at all i wouldn't worry.. Less your some street racer that wants any advantage..

I was planning on tracking my car, but I would think that any wheel that's wider than the 18's would be slightly heavier (at least the less expensive ones anyway). Maybe I'll get a set of F14s in 18's instead?

The real issue is that no one really makes a low enough offset for 18"

Even on forged monoblock (3500-4500 dollars) you are looking at 18x9 and 18x10.5 with the lowest offset being 20.

The only way to get a low enough offset is to do a 3 piece which again is 3500-4500

My Ag.Function 19x9.5 were 20 lbs

Is it possible to get these wheels in 18x9 and 18x10.5? I guess you could always get spacers to deal with the offset.
