There is a total of a 10lb difference when you account for all 4 wheels. The LC818s are 10lbs heaiver per set...

After all the inputs from the members, and you are still not sure which way to go, dude you need more than wheel advice.

But I'll play. I know my advice will not help either but I'll throw my 2cents anyway just to confuse you even more. j/k

In all seriousness...

1. save your money - you have nice wheels already, plus you only had them for 2mos. Give yourself some time to enjoy the F sport wheels
2. save your sleepless nights stop thinking about which wheels to rock. Save those nights when you meet two fine a$$ women and you don't know which woman to tap first
3. If you do meet two fine a$$ women, give me a call. I'll take good care of the girl you plan to tap next.

Not sure my wifey would be cool with that, i could only hope so.. And yes i like to change wheels bc he keeps me from wanting a new car all the time. And im a now person, If i see it and like it, I want right then I see a lot more people on this forum changing wheels moreso than I do. The F Sports are only my 2nd set in 10 months.

I would stick with Volks too, they are pretty dam expensive. Out of those i would go with the vs-xx . Im lowered on Tein-S Techs and am glad i didnt spend all that money for coils. Its the perfect drop for a DD

I'm just a big talker...my wife will cut my nutz off if I ever tried a Tiger Woods move on her.

I hear you about liking stuff and just pulling the trigger...I'm the same way, but not with wheels. Anyway, which ever decision you make, you can't go wrong. Both wheels are nice, however, the LC818 is much nicer (alot nicer) IMO.

Good luck bro!
