I really like these wheels(Volk racing RE30). What do you guys think? They are kind of pricey, what other wheels would you suggest. I am into performance not bling bling. I would like to get 18".

Thank you for all your input.

The offset for the wheels is 44mm and I would like to get 235/45/18 tires.

I am planning to drop the car on pro kit (already place the order with Stillen).

That is a great question. I don't know, I will have to check. Any suggestions on other brands?

Very nice wheels and its definitely worth getting volks. The nismo wheels I have are 7lbs lighter per wheel(including tires)

Wheel + Tire per wheel weight:Stock: 50lbs

Nismo: 43lbs

So getting those wheels would give you an idea what performance gain you will get.

Oh shi, my future Fs-01 wheels are about 25lbs . Man that should give me some serious performance gains, I'm almost gonna offset my own weight hahaha! (I'm 150lbs...)

I think you got it wrong, I said Wheel + Tire combo weight.

Stock wheels weigh around 25lbs

My NISMO wheels weigh at 18lbs

And the volks are just as light.
