That's funny cause I just ordered the hyper black motegi sp10 today in 18x8 with Dunlop direzza z101 tires in 225/40/18. I wanted hyper black over black. I didn't want to add weight and I didn't want understeer from a staggered setup. I like the plus 40 offset for a flush front. I don't think you can go wrong with any you linked to just look at the specs and weights. Tire rack includes the lug nuts and centering rings for no extra charge. I'll have pics by the end of the week. Your only gonna hurt acceleration performance if you go with a larger tire diameter or a heavier than stock wheel and tire. The motegi's should save a pound or two per wheel and the tires will add about a lb. So I'll end up even or a little lighter hopefully.
