Unless they weigh MORE than the stock wheels then they won't make it handle worse. Getting an 18x8 that weighs in between 18 - 20.2 lbs isn't going to make it handle worse.

RP01 18x8 +35 = 18lbs
RP03 18x8 +35 = 20.2lbs
RPF1 18x8 +35 = 18lbs
GTC01 18x8 +35 = 18lbs

If you get a tire in 40 vs a 45 you're only going to see 5mm of wheel height change and the rotational weight is either lower than or the same as stock since the stock wheels are 20.1lbs. You also will end up with an extra inch of traction. Just stick with Enkei racing wheels if you want the car to perform well.
