Also for a 128 MSport is a must, its suspension and the stellar seats for 128s.

People are about as stupid about wheels as they are about brakes when it comes to forums. 100% agreement on optimal sizing.
Steering wheel is also a massive bonus of MSport. The thickness feels so good, at least until you upgrade it.

18x8 Square = 41.8 lbs./corner (18x8 Aero 7 + 225/40-18 Michelin PSS) = 6.5 lbs. savings per corner (oops, I said 6.75 before)
17 x 7 Square = 38.5 lbs/corner (lightweight 17x7s + 225/45-17 Michelin PSS) = 9.8 lbs. savings per corner
I'll look at the 17x8 rim options to see if I like anything, but I really dig those Aero 7s.  |
17x8 BBS RG-Rs are 17.24 lbs each and 8000 ton forged.
