So far I don't really notice any difference in braking or acceleration. When I first drove the car I thought I might have noticed a very very slight difference but that could be just wishful thinking, not sure. I understand the benefit of having less rotational mass on each wheel, in this case pretty significant, but I'd have to drive the car back to back to tell.

Markoz28, glad you posted the pics of your wheels. Yours have the medium concave option I believe, while mine has the deep concave.

Love the BC Forge wheels. I slapped these on from my 5th Gen Z. Not sure if i want to keep them because I would have to buy new 30 series tires and run longer wheel studs for spacers on the front. I'll probably end up selling these but i love these wheels.

Did you downsize your front brake calipers/rotors or were you able to fit 18's there over full stock brakes?

I thought the smallest you could go was 19's on the front brakes without spacers and/or changing rotors/calipers to a smaller setup.

If you could confirm, along with the offsets and specs of your wheels I would greatly appreciate it.

18" fits over stock brakes in my case...barely but they do clear. It is the bottom of the caliper which is the closest where the hard crossover line is present.

Can you share the specs for your GS1R open lugs and do you know the weights by chance?

They are zl1 1le spec wheels. The open lugs are katech titanium 12point lug nuts. I have no idea on the weight, but they are noticeably lighter than the factory wheels. I might be selling this set and getting another set of bcforged. I bought them used and love the style but not a fan of the finish.

I have Signature 18" forged track wheels on my ZLE, they fit no problem with no spacers or other changes. But with tight clearance you do get some scratching of caliper top and barrel when big gravel gets sucked through. It's not a performance or reliability issue just minor cosmetic you can't see without removing the wheel.
