Default New wheels?

Hi, I need new tires BAD (thread indicator is flush with the tire...)

I went on edgeracing and a few other sites and figured i might just as well get new wheels too.

I was tinking about upgrading to 18x8 lightweight wheels. i read the stock wheels (cast 6spoke) weigh 29lbs each.
so a nice ~20lbs wheel should be a nice upgrade i figured.

please help me choose:

1: enkei RPF1 18x8 offset 35 weight:18 lbs.


2: enkei RMP2 18x8 offset 35 weight:19.4lbs


3:Kosei K1 18x18 offset 38 weight 17lbs


Also what tires are good (preferably from edgeracing).
I love the handeling of the stocks but i'm not paying 220 bucks for one new tire!
I read good things about the TOYO proxes 4, anyone have those?
Most brands i see at edgeracing i haven't heard a lot about. never heard of nexen for example.
I'm kinda weary to buy something i don't know...
Tire size should be 225/40R18 to keep the stock circumference right?

thanks.

Check out the Falken Zeix Ze 912. I have 512's, but I guess they've been redesigned and are 912's now

a 225/40-18 is $92

thanks for jackin my thread man! J/K J/K!

yea i like those fliks as well but they are discontinued and fliks are kinda on the heavy side... (25 is heavy for me...)
any more opinions?

I'm most likely going to go with the toyo Proxes4 tires, and i'm still leaning towards the RPM2's.
