they are definitely lighter than stock, but so far i haven't really been able to do any type of performance testing. i did notice that the ride quality isn't quite as good as the stock wheels. i don't know if that's because i was low on air before, and now i'm pumped up, or because there is a half-inch width difference, so the same size tires are slightly smaller (shorter sidewall).

either that or it's just all in my head.

yeah, i need to get some coilovers. but like i said, i can't drop the dime just yet. maybe in a couple months

Looks GREAT! The wheels match the car well. Here's my Photo-Chop attempt at lowering your ride:
