Correct and correct. Also, just like you shouldn't grocery shop on an empty stomach, the same is true for wheels. In other words, I was dead set on getting new wheels but in 18s, but when I didn't like what was available in that size, I was already in the mode to buy some new wheels. Hence, I went shopping for wheels on an empty stomach, ready and eager to consume. But I don't regret it one bit.
Im going on set 12 with HRE--- build just submitted two days ago!

At the shop now getting them installed and in person, they flow great. But I can definitely see where you're coming from.

No worries. Sometimes that thought has occured to me as well, why did I make the switch. But I didn't do it just to do it...I have been a fan of the C97's for a long while and so this was more of a fullfillment of an earlier idea I had.

The wheels look great in person. I forgot to ask, did it make a drastic difference in the ride over the pavement?

I think 10lbs overall, 6 in the rear and 4 in the front. The car feels a little quicker, but for all I know that's the placebo effect of thinking it makes a difference. But regardless, I love these bad boys.

Some but not much considering I stuck with 19s. The car does feel a like it has more of a spring in its step. Thanks for the compliment, that red Porsche of yours is bad *** and brought back some nice nostalgia!

Your car looks phenomenal! Your wheel choice is similar to the look I am going for with my Volk TE37 Tokyo Time Attacks. I hope mine turns out at nice as yours!
