Yeah, I know I could save a few more pounds but I'm probably going to make a sole concession to aesthetics just because. For me, the math is as follows:
Stock = 48.3 lbs. per corner (17x7 Style 206 + 205/55-17 Goodyear NCT)
18x8 Square = 41.8 lbs./corner (18x8 Apex Aero 7 & 225/40-18 Michelin PSS) = 6.5 lb. savings per corner (oops, I said 6.75 before)
17x7 Square 1 = 39.2 lbs./coner (17x7 BBS RG-R & 225/40-18 Michelin PSS) = 9.1 lb savings per corner
17x7 Square 2 = 38.5 lbs./corner (lightweight 17x7s & 225/45-17 Michelin PSS) = 9.8 lb. savings per corner
I'll look at the 17x8 rim options to see if I like anything, but I really dig those Aero 7s.
