weight should not factor into what rims you're buying...unless you go to the track often. the rims i recently bought were 21lbs. to me, it's heavy but i'm just dd it so it doesn't matter.

18's look better on a modified car.
But 17 rules over 18 any day in practicality, value and performance. |

Also if this is your DD, if yu have the 18's there is a higher chance you may damage the rim due to the lower profile tires. I've seen a many sweet rims gone due to this

Keep the M-Theory wheels. They look so nice. I had a set of silver TRD 18's on my XRS and they looked ok, better than the flat black ones, but I had to run low profile tires and it just didn't ride nice.
