Alright, ive already done a search on this and i have already looked at wheelspecs.com Im looking into getting Velox wheels and was looking at the VX-8's but they weigh a ton!!! i dont want my car to weigh as much as a freakin semi. so i looked at the Vx-6 and Vx-6R but i cant find the weight of either or where i could purchase the 6R's. Im going for the whole gunmetal machine lip look and was just curiouse if anyone could help me out with dealers and weights or maybe could help me find some pictures of a 7thgen with the Vx-6.

Well, if you want lightweight go with forged wheels. You're going to end up paying a lot for them though. The Velox PG-5 is forged, 17" and 11.5 pounds. RO_JA makes some nice forged wheels.

Gunmetal + Machined lip

Look around there are plenty of options!

Yeah, that's the only thing why I hate the Velox V-8s. 23lbs for the 17, 20lbs for the 16.

If they were only forged... then I'm sure everyone would have them... blah.

The 17" vx-6 is in the same ballpark as the vx-8: around 23 lbs.

The 17" X 7" vx-6r is 16.5 lbs. They are just starting to get into circulation so I'm not sure who has them in stock yet.

I was thinking of getting the vx8's, didn't know they were so heavy in 17inch. But damn they look so good.

You're worried about breaking your rims? WTF?

What do you do to your wheels man, hit them with sledgehammers?

If your area has a lot of potholes then go for 17 inch so you will have a little more meat on your tires. If not I would go for 18 inch. And no you won't "break" your rims unless you abuse your car. LOL
