I haven't pulled out my credit card yet. I am still trying to decide if the Ultraleggeras are the way I want to go, all things considered. I really like the look of the stock wheels, but I want to improve the performance as well. I spoke with a fellow at Tire Rack about wheel/tire combinations. He said that the 18X9s would not have clearance issues in back, but suggested that when I had pretty much decided on a wheel/tire combo, I should speak with one of their techs just to make sure that I get the right sizes and offsets to avoid clearance problems. I am also intending to replace the stock springs and shocks, and that will play into the equation as well.

If money wasn't an object, which it is, and wanting improved performance, I would be considering a set of Dymags. I think at 14+ pounds per wheel, the performance and handling improvement would be very noticeable.
