Seeing as how I wont be adding new wheels to this car and the sport ones are in fact 20% lighter than the non-sport wheels. I actually really like the wheels matches the car nicely.

Some dealers offer aftermarket wheels when ordering, but will be much more expensive.

I'm with you, though the Sport rims have grown on me (very gradually). If I had it to do over again, I might have bought the base model, then put Enkei RPF-1 rims on. Even in the 18" x 9.5 fitment, which allows for some pretty fat tires, those wheels are approximately 6-8 pounds per wheel lighter than the Rays (depending on staggered or square set-up; 17.4 pounds each for the RPF-1). What is the big deal about a forged wheel, if it's not light? And the Enkeis are famously strong--used in many racing applications.

In high-performance cars and driving, weight and heat are the enemies.
