Stepping down?
Has anyone gone from the Stock 18's on my touring model to a 17" racing style wheel?
What are the benifits to this besides weight loss/less rolling mass?
i'm thinking of this... any comments?

on the track (road course, not the straight line stuff....) I use 17x9 Enkei RPO2J with 275/40-17 Yokohama AO32R tires... I use 17's becuase of the greater availability of 17" track tires
On the street, I'd consider using 17" wheels for the reason leemik mentions... taller sidewalls mean a little more wheel protection, but it also means a less bumpy ride as the tire will absorb more of the impacts
other than that, I doubt you will notice much difference in speed or performance compared to your OEM 18s....
Hope that helps,
