I would also say lowering a vehicle would help with wind resistance since the wheel is further up in the wheel well. And I have also been looking at the tire weights since two tire of the same size can differ by a few pounds and it seem that the weight towards the outside of the rotation mass matters most.

Now I am stuck between the Enkei RPF1 s in a 17x8 Black or the same wheel in silver but a 16x7 . With the 17's I will be able to run a 235-45-17 and have a little more tire but have a little less ride quality and more weight. But with the 16's I will run the stock tire size of 225-50-16 and have less weight, less rolling resistance and a nicer ride. But I do think a 17x8 would look nicer. Does anyone know the factory offset? And for anyone that whats it I found this with the factory 16 weighing in at 23lbs compared to the 16 I am looking at that weighs less than 15lbs.

And which color do you guys think will look better on my white mk3?
