Yeah man. My RS3 are heavy too. I'm dying to get rid of these wheels. They're so new as are the RS3.

I want the weight decrease and wouldn't mind buying some 17's but then I gotta buy new tires. I may just wait until I need new tires on the 18's then switch wheels and buy the tires to match.

I have the HLT by OZ, mine are blue but look indigo in bright sunlight. In your size, 18x8, they are 17.3 lbs. in green.

Sure a SC will 'fix' it, but you'd notice 12 lbs of rotating weight taken off your car, fwiw. I got mine light and narrow to run lightweight R compounds in 225/40-17, my rims are 15.4 lbs, and aiming for Hoosier R6 Track & Competition DOT
Size: P225/40ZR17 weigh 20 lbs. let see if thats enough rubber for the SC

The stock rims were 21 lbs and oe tires 20lbs; my current tires come in at 23 lbs. in OE size.
still drooling at the green..
