Okay..I am pretty set on this wheel. That is unless there is something out there almost identical that weighs less for less money lol. Now my issue is, I don't spend alot of time racing but I really do enjoy "spirited" driving every now and then. I LOVE the look of our cars with 18's and I just ordered a 2.0" drop from megan racing. I don't want to be taking a huge performance hit and the 17x7 weighs 19.1 lbs and the 18x7.5 weighs 22.3 lbs. Any one else have a wheel this weight that can comment on performance? I have looked all over the net and found alot of reading material. I had 17s on the last celi I upgraded and always wished I had done 18's. Is there any good comparisons out there with realworld track times or ne thing? Thanks for even reading another 17 vs 18's thread guys. Also don't the stock gts 16 rims weigh 19 pounds? Surely 17's would be almost no change and 18's only very minor?

I noticed a small difference in power when I went from stock 16" wheels to my 18" wheels but nothing major. I do not regret getting 18" wheels.
