Lighter Wheels

Stay with 17s, a bit wider if you like won't matter much, and maybe your mpg will improve! Who cares! (I see this your first post, please don't take this as being flamed.)

I'd agree with that. I don't keep much of anything in my trunk, so I often drop the rear seat back to hear it a little better. And I really like how the tailpipes fill the bumper cutouts :thumbsup:

The tires are 235/40-18s. They probably weigh about 25 lbs each, tho and would dramatically affect the shipping price even with my company's discount, I'm thinking.
