More research, you guys got me going. The Kosei is available in an 18 but only 7.5" wide. I'd like to run an 18" rim and the tires I have already look a little over sized on the 8" wheels they are on. The Kosei 18"x7.5" is light though, 16 pounds and clearance priced at $229.
I don't know, since the car isn't going to go 8's on these 18" wheels, trying to save some additional weight might not make a bunch of sense.......
I've bought so many sets of wheels for this car! haha
BTW, I may put my CCW's and Hoosiers up for sale if anyone is interested.

Those look like 18" Evo IX Enkies, Duplicolor rattelcanned Time Attack style.
Dave, you definately need to get some Advans or Volk on that car! For lightness sake, I'd go the route incog9nito99 suggested and would get the Buddy Club wheels. Sure, not the best looking, but not bad either, and SUPER LIGHT.

I personally think you should do ENKIE RPF1's in BLACK. I really dont think there is a more tough looking race wheel out there. When people see these wheels, they know the car means business

I just got a PM about the Enkei in black, I like them in black. I've owned a set of the silver ones.
The ones on the don't look good. Were those painted or something? The black just doesn't look right. The picture of the wheel with the Enkei logo looks good though.

Hey David; have you ever considered picking up a set of the MR BBS wheels?
While I don't know the exact weight of the wheel, I know they aren't heavy and are forged aluminum.
BBS makes some awesome wheels.
