The Black Optics wheels, pictured above on PaperLion's car, are the heavy ones. About 26-27 lbs. They look good, but are heavy.
The Fuchs wheels in the link above are the forged, much lighter wheels; as noted in this thread, about 21 lbs. They look really good.
I've had I think 4 sets of ECS tuning's "Alzor" wheels and been quite happy with them (have two sets now). Personally I think 18"s work much better on the this car than the 19's
To be honest, they look cool but they ride really rough and I'm not sure how much of it is the Pirelli P Zero rubber bands and how much is the fault of the wheels, but I think the weight of the wheels doesn't help. Member here recommended I reduce pressure in the tires and that helped a lot but they are still pretty rough.

Going to a full profile tire instead of the rubber bands would for sure make a big difference but i think he's maybe saying that the smaller diameter wheels just suit the size of the car and suspension setup better. I haven't changed them out yet and it's probably going to be a while. Money is tight after upgrading some other things recently (not car stuff).
I'm Unitronc Stage 1+ and I have CTS Turbo intake I paid 280 for from Modded Euros and res delete which really livens up Dynamic Mode. Intake is gonna wake things up i.e. blow off valve and air induction sound. If you want little intake sound DO NOT go with CTS TURBO Intake. Also I am looking at getting an Intercooler and DP just so I can go stage 2. Then I will be done "modding" for a while. I might get those light weight wheels but I like the heavy ones that are on it now lol. Oh and H&R sport springs are terrible IMO

Thanks so much! I just ordered a resonator delete. When I do an intake it’ll most likely be the Forge closed intake. Love those wheels.
