Lightweight 18" wheels (lighter than RPF1's)

It is all fine and good to try to pick the lightest wheel, but one thing people hardly ever consider, is the weight of the tire.

They are not all created equal.

I've sent them front and rear templates for fitment checks already

I've played with some wheel calculators too and it shows there should be even more room than the stock wheels..

Tires will be Michelin Pilot Sport 4S!

Thanks for the advice man, this is why I've made a thread asking for some opinions and suggestions! It's always best to be cautious.

One of the lightest there is as far, as I know.

Well I'm pretty much sold on these after doing more research. But I have some other mod plans that are higher priority so I probably won't be getting wheels for a year or more.

Anyway! After browsing their facebook page, it seems these wheels have been track tested by plenty of people, and there are a lot of people using these wheels with good results:

Also this article about how the wheels are made gives me greater confidence in their durability:

So I'll be purchasing these when the time comes and I'll make sure to post a review at that time. Thank you everyone for your input! I've decided not to get the titanium and I'm going to go with the Matte Gunmetal for my gray G37. The titanium are just a little too "bling" for me.
