Ordered new wheels
I banged up one of my wheels last week. I order some new ones today.
Don't flame me, cause they're not lightweight performance wheels, just average everyday aftermarket 18x8.
I think they look cool.
EDIT:
Specs are - Voxx Misano in 18x8 with 40 offset. Paying around $530 after rebate at America's Tire. 25lbs
OEM are 23lbs, so that 3lbs/tire (12lbs), times 4 (approximate rolling inertia), that's an extra 48 lbs! I don't know if I'll notice it...
I just got a set of Kuhmo ECSTA SPT for them in 225/45-18. If the Kuhmo's performa as well as tirerack rates them, I should see a big improvement across the boards over OEM, plus they're a good price too!

they kinnda look like the Enkei's? (spelling?) Grats on the rims. Go take some pics of your car once they're installed.
