Its just my opinion though, rock em if you like them my friend
It's ok to each his own, I like the F-Sport wheels too but didnt like the gap in the rear so I wanted a staggered look to fill that gap, this was the only reason I went with them, would have kept the F-Sport wheels. Also they were only $600 so it didn't hurt my budget.

Lol probably not, weight saved yes but not enough to say hp gain.

yeah i hear you, i just changed my stock 18s to a different set and spent about $600 myself. i think the gloss gunmetal of the F sport goes with the white color that you have the best, even better than the nebula gray. just giving my 2 cents.

I'm thinking about getting that engine cover and taking the hood off so everybody can see it. Whatcha think?

Or, I could get that engine cover just to make me feel good about having it hidden under my hood. It would be like me wearing Oakley Carbon X Underwear that cost $100 a pair that nobody sees...

I'm trying hard to make sense of all this...
