Stock Rays at the moment. Suspension/wheels are later in the year (paint and body mods right now). I love BBS looks, but can't deal with 6-8 extra pounds per corner just to look good.

Yep. If the rays were a bit wider, I'd leave it as-is. Looking for something wider than stock but comparable in weight now...

You're right. We should all forget about our aftermarket exhausts, intakes, tunes, etc. All performance concerns are a waste of time and money. They're just daily drivers after all. As long as they look good, it doesn't matter if they're slow as ****, ain't that right, "sick" sixspeed?

8+ lbs of rotational mass per corner is in fact a pretty big deal, despite how much your friends holler about "dem siiiick reeeeeiiiimmmmzzzz, yo!"

Real re30s or knockoffs? If real, it's a solid choice looks and weight-wise. If a knockoff, it's probably (but not definitely) much heavier than your stock wheels and your launch, acceleration and cornering suffer because of it.

They're made by Enkei but ok I'll leave it at that thanks for your insight tho.

XXR's don't weigh that much either. Infact I was pretty surprised that the XXR replica's of the wheels I'm looking at are only a couple lb heavier and they are actually .6lb more (despite 1" wider) and 0.6LB less (at the same width).
