About $650 ish for 18's.
You can make your own - get an original LF-A wheel, then stick it in the copier, change size to 10% reduction.......and hey presto, out pops an 18" version.
A colour copier lets you match the colour quite well, but goes through a heck of a lot of toner!

Got them for 659shipped...
also if I don't like the color I can always get them painted. I figured that the matte gunmetal was fairly close to ISF wheels & I did like the the color combo on my 08 ISF(Obsidian) but again if the color sucks, ill get something a bit more to my liking

ahh, I didnt read OP's post further.... Silly of me 
.
hehe, Hopefully they're lightweight, I believe last time I test fitted a set of 20s, my 18s felt darn near the same weight as them, with tires on! I've been considering purchasing any set of QUALITY lightweight wheels instead of going for something flashy (as a DD).

26 lbs when I enquired a while back.
Not much different to stock ones, according to some numbers on Sewell's.
F-Sport are a good few lbs lighter, and they're 19's.
With tyres, there might be nothing in it, other than running 19's and the cons that go with that size of rim and sidewall combo.

Yikes, that is pretty hefty still.... I don't know if anyone's tried this, but when I had my Miata, I had some lightweight 16in wheels vs my 17in RH C5's, most definitely the 16in wheels were lighter A LOT to the C5s (not being much heavier) but they made a HUUUGE difference in driving experience. It's something I really look forward to again 
. No matter how much power (I had approx 260whp on that setup for i believe 2300lbs car?) you have, the wheels will be much more responsive if they're in fact lighter.

On the truck for delivery today! if they get here early ill have them mounted today.....
not really worried about weight, I really NEED to take the stupid spacers off the current wheel set up. Some cheap 1/2in aluminum junk bs thats non hub-centric. I really wanted to keep the car stock but couldn't find any decent pricing on stock 18s so opted for these instead, but ill keep you updated CL!

Hey, if they weigh close to stock, have a nice look to them and are sturdy, all the more props to you LowNslow! I like'em anyways, please don't forget to take pictures as i'd love to see how they look on your car!
