Well I'm thinking of downsizing to save weight and increase comfort. What do you guys think of these setups.

My current setup... (19", 26lbs)

Attachment 23968

Possible new setup... (18", 18-20lbs)

I like my current rims (#1) but 6lbs of unsprung weight on each tire is alot, not including the tires. That's approx. 42lbs. per corner w/o air (168lbs uninflated.) Also the further away the weight is from the hub (the bigger the rim) the harder it is for the car to turn...in other words it slows your acceleration more, that's not including the additional weight added. So a 20lbs 18" will accelerate faster than a 20lbs 19". Plus tires are just a tad cheaper.

True True u got a point there with the tires being cheaper lol i have black riums myself i like them they suit the car.... but i mean its gonna be preference really.... are u going for a classy looking car or a fast car? go with the 19s for the classy looking car but the 18s will be faster... why dont u go to a same style rims as the 1st one just in an 18 like a Konig or something BBS?

I keep finding more rims at great prices and it's driving me nuts...I want them all. I did find the ADR SZ1 (1st pic) in a black 18, good price too. I may get some 5zigen's though. I don't know, I'm gonna stop saying until something gets ordered.

I like them both 6th Gen, your call and your taste in wheels is what makes them your wheels.

Here's another wheel I like - but this is my taste in wheels...:eek:
