Also anyone have a weight for these?
Thats correct, but remember this car has a natural tendency to oversteer which is the fun way (in a 200hp car) but not the fast way around the track. That was with 235/35/18s though. This work kwinami set up runs square wheels with slightly wider tyres on the rear so im not sure what the results would be in regards to handling.

With wheel weights, ive heard the 18x9.5 weighs 10.5kg so that's around 23lbs.
