the 19s added about .2-.3 to my 1/4 mile time.

If you've got the cash, and want 19s meant for racing, look into advan model 5s.

for 18s, maybe volk te-37s... hella lightweight & big all at the same time.

Are the LE37T's the same weight? It weighs 17lbs on a 18X7.5 inch rim. The LE37T is the same style as the TE37 only it's gunmetal with a silver lip.

I think the Le37s weigh a bit more. Anytime you chrome or do anything to the wheels...it's extra weight added.

I have Vault 18x7.5's and they are 17.5lbs. I have bent two of them in 8 months on potholes...
My seemed quicker with them for sure, but they are pretty d@mn fragile...
