I also know a guy on Nasioc with a bugeye WRX (well, had a bugeye at the time) that went from his stock 16s to a set of 22lb 18s (you would be suprised, 22lbs isnt that heavy for an 18" wheel unless you spend 3k on them. Heck man a lot of 17s are 21lbs) and ran 2 tenths slower in the 1/4.
I know my 18s are going to hurt me. But I will have enough motor to deal with it and still be fast :) Not that I couldnt be faster. But looks are also a concern, and these 18s are SOOOO hot.

18's arent bad on a car the size of the foz. Like you said though he gained 7 hp on a car that made 170 thats substantial

What I think is funny is on a car like a civic with a fart cannon and mugen badges that doesnt make much power, and you see all these people putting stuff that slow it down like big body kits and wheels. I will bet that you will prolly buy good/light wheels and we all know that you will be making some power
