according to enkei's website 18s are 17lbs and 17s are 15.2lbs so either way its still better than stock. i guess i'm trying to find a balance between look and performance. i think i'll wait for more opinions since the vote is still split.

18's are too big for the fg IMO... They sell the rpf1's in 17x8 +35, perfect sizing.
