+60 or greater will mean you dont have to roll though, if that is any consolation.

^This is not true. You should take your own advise and look at the wheel weights. The racing series of Enkei's are lighter with the RFP1 being the lightest of the bunch. Most of the others even in that line are close to the Nurburgring in weight. The Nurburgring weighs about 19 lbs which is a fairly common weight for a performance wheel in that size and they are rotary forged. The particular Enkei's he is considering are cast wheels so they would be similar weight or heavier.

I certainly did look into the weight issu but even though I'm more of a "GO" than a "SHOW" guy I still want a wheel I'm proud to look at! The car will be my DD and only plan to track it a few days a year, if I'm lucky ... Most of my track time will be done on 2 wheels! ... My performance drives will be on lesser travelled curvy roads.

I'm open to other suggestions that respect my choice in tire and wheel sizes (18", 225/255). My favorite wheel designs are the Wedssport SA-67R (not enough offset for rear), Enkei Raijin (same as previous) and the Nurburgring but if you can point me towards a lighter similar looking wheel I'm all ears!

If you're not opposed to a roll the 17x9 +49 Wedssport TC105Ns are freaking baller looking and really light as well. What's your budget?

I guess I'd like to stay under the $300-350 range because this look and set-up is transitional ... in a few years I plan on going ape-shit on it and putting a full ACR wide body kit with a 265/285 set-up and a FI kit!!

I'm taking the members suggestion of driving it "mostly" stock for a while before modding it too much, get a better feel of what I really want from this car.

Very good suggestion! Thanks RC ... I wanted a darker finish (matte gunmetal or charcoal) but it might work. Just under 17 lbs for a 18x9, that's light!

Honestly I would highly recommend you go with forgestar f14. Custom offset and color and around 19 lbs for 18" wheels. This would allow you to get the exact offset you are looking for and the exact color. Right in your price range too

I have the TSW Nurburgrings in 17x9 +63 with 20m spacers in the rear and 15m in the front. You can look at my sig for what it looks like. 255/40/17 tires.
