I say go for it!
I drove a G500 for a week while I was watching some friend's kids. I had to get gas every 175 miles. Uh, Hello? 7 mpg? It's just inconvenient!
But I love those wheels... so screw it!

Not really although BBS CH's are running #2.
And yeah I realize the RZ's are a bit heavy and with a staggerd (sp?) setup I won't be able to rotate, but they do look cool and I think I'll be able to pick up any performance loss with other mods..have I mentioned Miltek Hi-Flow exhaust yet?

Thanks, I checked the site...and I think I'll be OK..
I have the 6 spoke cast now at 29lbs...the RZ's in 18 x 8 are at 29.6...perhaps the 18 x 9s are a bit more...so I'd have to conclude that my performance should be roughly the same...of course if I go lighter I realize it would probably be somewhat better, but I'm ok with that.
