Wheel Choice, OPINIONS PLEASE!

Stay stock or keep looking IMO.
Lower it more first.

I have the TSW interlagos and they are rotary forged. I wouldn't say they are crap or cheap. I'm very happy with them. Go light or don't bother. I would look at Enkei as well.

I asked the manufacturer the weight, and he said 26 lbs per wheel. Much more understandable. So far, i think I'm leaning towards the Nurburgring's. But first priority is to make the damn car lower than 50 ft off the ground. :biggrin:

I have these as well, but was wondering why dustin said they were "cheap crap" though :iono:

In my opinion the r8 wheels looks the best rim for your car, but yes it still depends on the fitment and specs your car needs.

I shamelessly endorse this post

VMR 710's, which look similar to Nurburgrings, on a real Fahrenheit:

The Nurburgrings are lightweight though and will be almost 7 lbs lighter than the Charlestons...which is a pretty significant reduction in weight.

Charlestons weigh 25.6 lbs
The TSW's are 18.6 lbs (in 18x8)

Regarding those r8 replicas, I believe the shipping is 73 lbs a pair. That would be 36lbs with the box which is probably accurate.

But... just... look at them!

Honest opinion? Those wheels look like something thirteen year old me would've thought looked "cool" or whatever. As a matter of fact, the design reminds me of Trapper Keepers from back in the day. Maybe, they look better in person?

With all that said, rock those bad boys if you like'em. It's your car.
