Advan RS - no lip makes the 18" look larger than it is. Perfect looks and light weight. 17.8lbs (8.5" width) and 18.5lbs (9.5 width).

Forgestars are not cast -- they are flow formed wheels. They do now make pure forged wheels as well. They are very nice wheels. I have them on my 997S.

Yup, it's just a different method of the cast process...

Looking forward to seeing some more 18" wheels. I have stock 162s with an H&R sport drop....and plan on swapping them out in the near future.

The 18" wheels Derek Zoolander posted are actually pretty cool, but they're kinda old school so I think they look better on an e36 or e34 than the e90.
