well, after spending half a day today researching my options I found out that the not-so-expensive wheel that I really wanted - MRR HR6 are at least 2 month away due to manufacturing delays.
They look like Stasis wheel but I like their black diamond finish even better.
The only other manufacturer that makes same design in similar price range is Corniche Monza, but they are Europe only, so I said to myself "forrrrrget it".
I'll just get a separate 18" set for winter, get some springs and call it a day for now and revisit this topic next spring.
Thanks to mhs525 for helping talk some sense into me by saying this: "I would rather save for something nice than just change for the sake of change".

BTW, are they forged by Vulcan himself and does it make the car fly like Apollo's chariot ?

hard to beat the look of the stockers, but pushing 30+ lbs is a bit ridiculous, especially when paired with 28-29 lb Dunlops. 60lbs per corner is nuts.
Some 24 lb forged wheels + 24 lb Michelin PS2s will feel like getting tuned. First gear will just fly by.
Remember the bump voltron got when he went from his 20" wheels to some forged 19" BBS wheels with Michelins? I think he found 2 tenths at the dragstrip.

I can't wait for the Advan RZ's I have on order, they are 19lbs and the ContinentalExtremeContacts I am going with are 23lbs.
I have always been very happy with the improvement in my cars when spending the extra money to shed that kind of wheel weight. It's like getting a tune, better suspension and a brake upgrade.

Wow that's a lot of weight, even for stockers.

someone grab these...bore to 66...47lbs per corner, or 40+lbs rotating mass dropped. Thats going to feel like shedding 200 or 300 lbs of sprung weight
