Option Lab Wheels

Hey guys, I'm looking at getting some option lab wheels R716s for my BRZ. Getting them in 18x9.5 with an offset of +35. I just wanted to if these wheels are good wheels for DD which is what I use my BRZ for. I've seen these on WRX Sti's so I'm just curious about how good they are. Appreciate any input. Thanks guys!

They're going to be quite a bit heavier than stock. You'll lose some steering feel, get worse gas mileage, etc.

Just based on getting worse fuel economy, I'd get something else for a DD

Wow thank you! Didn't really think about fuel economy due to the wheel weight. How would the handling be with 18x9.5? I appreciate your input. Thank you
