I recommend commandeering some vert wheels. Not only are they light as hell (your tire placed on them weighs as much) but they look good and are actually made by BBS.

Ha. I had looked at the same thread. As far as going wider rims and bigger ones, my biggest recommendation is reading up on it. If I remember correctly, tirerack.com has an entire section explaining it.

There also rare as hell and even more rare if you find a quad group with all 4 covers.
But they're weak, You hit something too hard and you're going to bend/warp your mag

And glad I have those light F's on my car.

They aren't that rare, just keep on the lookout on the for sale section part of the forum. People replace perfectly good stuff for garbage all the time and sell them as "OEM" all time. Look at how many people rip the emissions system off and remove the BAC valve, then complain their car doesn't idle.

EDIT: To add, they aren't weak. The *** end of my car got squirley one day and I hit a curb with one of the back wheels. The wheel got a bit of curb rash but It wasn't bent. The tire that was on the wheel was way more effed than the wheel. The balance machine at the tire shop said the wheel was bent and needed 900 weights but I didnt believe it and just bought a new tire. New tire and the wheel balanced just fine.
