Yeah, I think my stock chrome 16s were like 21lbs (no tire), compared to my 18 and 19lb 18x8.5 and 18x9.5 aftermarket wheels.
I know on my legend going to a heavy 18 definitely slowed it down a bit.

Oh yea, they feel alot heavier than my 16s. I need to find an 18 similar to mine but lighter. I put the 16s on for a week and my car seems to be quicker.

yea nothing clears the 2LS brakes. it sucks booty haha. i just picked up some new wheels and it wont even clear the front brakes. so i bought some 15mm spacers from h&r with the extended studs. so they should clear hopefully they will sit nice. i might have to get 20mm + in the back buahaha :]

the 2IS and 3GS 18" wheels all clear the LS brakes

and why do you need 20mm in teh back for clearance
for flushness maybe but 20mm for BRAKES?!

hehe yea i have the 2IS wheels on my car right now. im going to sell them off now i think. since i dont need them anymore. maybe post up a price of 300 with tires that havent gone far :]. thats the funny thing the wheels that i bought came off a 3GS. but they wont fit on my car o well. must be different offsets. i want 20mm in the back so it could sit flush maybe 15mm we will see. hehe if it sit flush already than i dont kare. but if it doesnt time to figure out what to put in the back.

black_LS

Ordered.

Oh man I love those wheels - I had no idea they'd clear the brakes though. The 18" LS430 wheels are sweet too, but like someone said they are tough to find at a reasonable price.

Looking forward to seeing pics once you get the wheels.

Is it safe to assume they would look kinda dorky with the stock suspension (no drop)?

I'd love to upgrade my fat 16's - but I wouldn't do it unless I could do the whole thing to make it look right.

You better post some pics of them on your car!!

black_LS

Will do.. I'm doing tint/curtains, wheels, and drop all at the same time. Do you have any fitment shots? I want to see how far in they sit.

Not at the mome, but you might need a SLIGHT spacer...nothing big. Mine sit in just a tad, but mine are 7.5 vs your 8...so yours will stick out a little more.

I need to order my spacers from Projectkic ASAP

black_LS

Nope, I got the LS430 18's, like yours, but not chrome. I decided against the GS430 18's because I don't think it would suit my car.

heyhowyado

i'm picking a set of these up for my car on sunday
