What do you guys think is the best looking lightweight 18" wheels for the GT2? I originally wanted a set of blingy 19" HREs, but want to improve the handling, so that is not an option.
I want them in the same size as the factory wheels(18x8.5 and 18x12), but much lighter. Is under 20 pounds each realistic, especially for the rears?
Thanks.

18X8.5 5-130 ET40, 18.8 lbs.
18X12 5-130 ET45, 24 lbs.
Great wheels for less than $500 each. Please call me if interested.

I am running the stock 18" turbo twists with hoosiers for track work.
HRE 18" C90's with Yoko A048's for track and street.
HRE 19" CF40's with PS2's for street and show.
All are 8.5 front and 12 rear

I just put on HRE Comp93s 18" 21Lbs rear and 19Lbs front. I really felt the difference in the unsprung weight over my OEM hollow spoke twists. The car feels much more seated to the road.
