18s... now which ones?!

So, I think I have decided on going with 18s... these should just go right on my car without them rubbing, right!?! Are they going to mess with my cars performance??

These are what I have narrowed it down to... let me know what you think would look best on a 2006 black 325xi sedan. It's hard to imagine what they are going to look like in person!

if your budget is around $500 for a set of 18" wheels only, id go with these CSL reps
http://www.**********s.com/CSL-Hyperblack-Wheels.htm

otherwise, id sell your stock wheels + $500 + a lil more cash and buy a set of decent used wheels with tires.

"are they going to mess with my car's performance".
if it were me, I would be concerned about any significant weight increase above the weight of current wheels These wheels are not lightweight. Maybe make that comparison and get comfortable with it?
Likewise, if larger diameter wheels push you into heavier tires, that is another consideration for performance.
They are good looking and priced nicely.

Any idea what the stock 16" weight is? What I found on another post was about 22 lbs for the rims and about 26-28 lbs for the run flats...

With that said I was trying to decide on 17 or 18s ...originally leaning towards the 17s just because of performance, but I was thinking the 18s would look best. Uggg IDK! :P
