I can suggest if you want to improve your car's feel and overall performance in a really big way, look for some lightweight wheels... lighter is definitely better.

It's insane, right?!

I felt like such a dunce after getting the RPF1's and realizing how much I'd been bogged down for the prior 8 years with my much heavier BSA wheels.

"Bogged down" is precisely what I'm talking about! I just didn't realize until I made the switch.

I feel the same way. I love my wheels but at 19lbs each it feels like cement shoes and I have to wind out the little motor to get any performance out of it. I slightly regret getting the wheels I now have until I park, get out and look at them on the car. Still, I'll be on the hunt for lighter wheels soon. These things dropped my mpg by 3-4.
