How do they FEEL compaired to stock. On another thread they were saying they were 10 pounds lighter PER WHEEL. I was like, that's a HUGE decrease in rotating mass. The car should feel WAY different.

Also, LOOKS GREAT!!

I have same setup on my car... Night and day difference, especially when going to non run flat performance tires as well. Car feels more alive and smoother/more connected to the road.

Thanks for the kind words!

I am very happy with the end result from a look and feel perspective. Especially with a proper alignment. I can say for sure how much weight per corner was shaved from the wheels are extremely light.

I haven't timed a before and after for acceleration purposes but the car feels great on spirited drives and I have zero regrets, and highly recommend. Apex did a great job of building and recommending this setup.

Thank you. Hopefully they make them in that color for you. I love bronze wheels and am incredibly thankful they were available and I caught the 4th of July sale.
