PS what pressure should I keep them?
Try between 36 and 40 PSI. Higher pressure has some tradeoffs. Ride may be a bit harsher but less rolling resistance (better gas mileage) and more protection for the rims in the event you encounter potholes.

I, too, would be interested in the price.

Also, have you noticed any performance decrease with the bigger wheels? I'm mainly talking about a loss in power due to the (presumably) higher weight...

Thanks!

just bumping this baby to say that these original,oem 18s are for sale.
no thread yet but they have about 15k miles on them and nitto 555 w/1k miles on the fronts. backs are original pirellis and toasted. the wheels are still excellent condition. not shipping them. $950.

Don't blame me. The reason I bought them because I saw how good they looked on Chuck's car.
