Enkei RS+M PICs
I have had the rims for a few months now, just haven't gotten around to posting my pics on Google.. Here is a link.

Specs: Enkei RS+M 18x7.5 Offset 48 (~4.5 lbs lighter according to my scale )
Sorry about the rotor rust.. I should have taken the car out for a quick spin to rub off the rust after washing the car. One thing is clear, I need to paint the calibers and the rotors.

A small drop might be my next project. Haven't decided.
I had considered the 18x8.5 +35 but they were heavier and when I set out looking for new wheels I decided my priority was to shave off some pounds.
I think losing 18 lbs of rotating mass has made a noticeable improvement in steering response, but it didn't seem to effect the pickup at all. This surprised me a bit.. I had expected an improvement in pickup but didn't expect anything on the steering response side.

Yep, stock rubber size.
True, the RS+M is not the lightest but it is quite light. It's Enkei's 2nd lightest, only 0.8 lbs heavier then the RPF1 and personally I don't like the look of the RPF1.
I hear some people have gone to 17" rims to save weight, but I didn't want to go that far.
