The stock 19" wheels are mono forged and made by Rays. They are very strong and light. The only way to keep most of your performance would be to go up to 20" forged wheels which are not cheap.

A good set of 20" forged wheels can be found for ~$2500-3000 not including tires if you keep your eye out. That's new, used is 20-40% less.

Why do you want to go with 20"s?

If you can't afford to go with 20"s then you can't afford the car.

Got to pay to play.

What is the point of your post, not one person is going care what you just said! And what does me trying to save a few bucks for rims have to do with affording the car? SMH, unlike most im not trying to save up to have this big satisfaction when i get the rims 3 yrs later if i can save a buck and get them now i will. I think you need a life you can get those for a great price so ive heard!

its true, getting some forged wheels will cost you ,even finding used forged 20s will still be pricey, but just save your money and then get a nice pair of forged 20's

25 lb 20's?

Are 25 lb non-forged 20" wheels fairly light? It's my understanding that stock 18s are 26 lbs or so.
I was thinking of these

Which are supposed to be 25lbs each. I guess I don't know if ASA's are considered good but I don't know what makes a wheel "good".

AWD Sedan...but that still seems high esp. for 8" rim.

The weights listed on Tirerack were typically 32lbs for non forged 20s. Actually the Ray's 20x8.5s on there are listed at 23.0 lbs. and $799 each! They had +43 offset.
