The way I figure it, unless you're racing professionally, a couple of pounds really won't matter that much, and it's a proven, track worthy, strong wheel at a reasonable price.

So your quote of 24 lbs for the 18x9 TDR kept bugging me, because I could have sworn I weighed them at ~21 lbs. when I got them. I just weighed one of my rims - has a 265/35R18 BFG R1 mounted on it. My ghetto scale is telling me a total weight of 45 lbs. for the tire and rim. Brand new R1s according to BF weigh in at just under 25 lbs. You figure some weight has been lost, as the tires have been through two track days, although still have a good amount of tread left. I doubt the tire lost 4 lbs. of rubber, so I think the 18x9's should be closer to 21lbs, maybe 22 tops.

So wait, you're telling me that the opening for the hub on your wheels, is not centered on the wheel itself? If so, that is a serious design flaw and would most definitely be covered under the manufacturer's warranty.

How did you come to the conclusion that the hole wasn't centered? Can you feel the wheel wobbling when you drive???

There is no wobbling when I drive. My tuner told me you could see it on the dyno.

Rota G-force are the spitting image of Advan RS- they look similar to....^ but with less sharp line as above. I think there now available in 18 x 10. I recommend 18x9 because their the same dimension as the Advan RS not to mention the nicely flushed the fender.

How much are the Wedsports? I thought those XXR's are a direct replica. I thought they were price similar to Enkei's.

Acree: Did you ever figure out a new set of wheels?
Regarding the XXRs, how did they fit the car? Was there tire interference with the fender either in bump or turning? What suspension are you running?

If I had to pick one that looks like the XXR you posted, then this is it! Love these wheels and they look SOLID on an 8/9!!
