Enkei RPF1 on the way!
Excited to have these on the way (18x8). Hopefully there will be a noticeable difference in braking, steering feel, and a bit more acceleration feel. Maybe wishful thinking to acutal feel all of that with dropping 4 lbs per corner, but we'll see.
I'll also be dropping an additional 3 lbs per front corner when the 2 piece rotors go on in a few weeks.
That's a total of about 22 lbs of unsprung rotational weight gone.

Grats. We'll have to see how different the 18x8s are from the 18x9.5s I have on mine.
Different you're going to get is dependent on the rubber you wrap it. I put on significantly wider rubber (275s) so overall my weight didn't go down but obviously grip went up.

225/45/18 stock Dunlops. I would have liked to put the Star Specs, but the stock ties only have about 7,500 miles.
2-piece rotors and XP8 pads will go on soon since I'll be at Mid-Ohio in mid-April. I run the stock rotors and pads in the winter months.
