I'd recommend this size combo to any trackdayer.

Bought the wheels because of their weight, but I'd admit they look great too.

I hate to ask, as I assume you would have said otherwise; but just want to confirm that you didn't need a spacer to clear the caliper? Cheers

Does anyone know the exact weight of these wheels? google shows nothing, except the weight for other width's and sizes. I just got these wheels and When I put them on my bathroom scale this is what I got, tried in several locations and kept getting the same and -+.2 one time.

The tires are pole positon s-04's 225/45R18, which are rated as 26lbs. 12.8lbs seems very very light
