Also, out of the the options on the option list for the car, the wheels are probably the easiest upgrade that I can accomplish myself. I certainly won't be able to add Idrive or heated seats at a later date very easily, but mounting up another set of wheels is something my 14 year old daughter can do (and has done) all by herself.

One more thing is the 18s about about 6 lbs lighter per wheel.

My $.02


Do you know the actual weight of the wheels -- 18 inch and 19 inch?

What is your source? I have been looking for this spec but this is the first post I have seen.

Thank you.
