These wheels are good looking, extra light 18 x 8 is 18.3 lbs and 18 x 9 is 19.6 lbs.
Does that much weight difference vs carlssons make a lot of difference on acceleration and handling?

Get the OZ. They look great on the car. 
YES. You will notice an improved acceleration with the lighter wheels. I believe that the Carlsson's are in the 26lbs range per wheel. That is a savings of 28lbs of unsprung weight.

Just what I wanted to hear
As soon as I can I'll get those OZs, I just need to find a buyer for my Carlssons.
I also need to put new brakes on the car, Luke, i'll get the brake pads from you (EBC Green), but do you already sell rotors for my car? (Not the whole brembo kit)

Thanks Tezte, I've seen them before but there's a few disadvantages for those wheels.
1.- I want to stay at 18" wheels
2.- They don't make that one on 18" to fit my car
3.- They are heavier than the single piece, even on the 18" version.
4.- More expensive, which I could dig it if they made them in 18 and were as light as the single piece.
Yes, I do love the lip on those wheels!
