Love those wheels. They would be my choice. Do the tires come with the raised white letters? Did you put them on the inside? I think they would have completed the look.

5-6k per set depending on who you get them from.

Hoosiers have no white letters. Michelin slicks do.

Ah. Thanks for the clarification. Car looks great. How much do those rims weigh compared to the stock rims?

Wow, only -5 lbs. net? I would have thought that the weight savings would be more. Guess the stock rims are pretty light...Well, you still have the performance advantages of rim strength and increased tire sidewall with the 18"s.

they come in any offset yu need, just different rim halves. Not sure if they fit over PCCBs. Will be trying on friends RS who has PCCBs at some point.

Yes, but they still use 18" center with different rim halves, so look kinda funny. Pic below of a black one

Almost. Only difference is the center hole. More of a conical shape for the RS because it uses a different locking mechanism than the Cup. So not interchangeable.

What do the wider tires feel like compared to stock? Similar balance? More under/oversteer?

Al - You should swing by so we can see if the 18s" will fit on a PCCB car. Although a large deposit will be required before we fit them, just in case you decide to take off
