One is 17" and the other 18". Though I could be wrong, thinking back I might have been also looking at Boxster wheels.

Ouch...I didn't realize that until now either. I'm very used to dealing with rims in the 10-12 lb. range and don't like to see that.

Sure, you're absolutely right about that. To be honest, I think I'm one of the rare people not enamored with huge rims because unsprung weight has always been one of my pet peeves. Someone once gave me a number about how much 1 lb of wheel weight "feels" on the car, but I can't remember what that number was. Of course, my FX came with 20" rims that weigh in at over 70 lbs. each with tires mounted. I let the dealer rotate those suckers.
