I'm really debating whether to get RPF1's due to their price and light weight, but really like some reps that look great and are price-friendly, but are heavy.
I like the way the car rides as is (stock, lol)
Anyone wanna provide their info on their experiences?

The problem is the fact that a lot of average drivers confuse tire characteristics w/ overall wheel/tire weight.
The only way to truly compare is to run identical tires on same wheels, which usually doesn't happen.
When I had my VS-XX (18x9"/18x9.5") the entire setup was probably a good 10lbs heavier than stock on each corner. But the tires (Toyo T1 Sport) were great and the car did not feel any different in terms of going over bumps. Handling was never an issue, because I didn't get those wheels for handling.
