I have found these aftermarket 18'' wheels to have OEM Michelin tires installed for summer.Have installed winter tires on stock aero wheels. What you guys think.

F71 MISTRESS | Forte Wheels

Size18x8
Bolt Pattern 5-105/5-114.3
Offset 35
Center Bore73.1
Load Rating1600

Concerned as wheel weight is 26 lb vs 21 lb for stock wheels. Will these heavier wheel decrease range or not big deal?

that's a lot of extra unsprung weight difference..car will be slower with those wheels..will feel like you have an extra 100 lb passenger in the car with you with those wheels.

Oh wow, never thought 5lb per wheel weight difference would have so much impact. Will look for some other options
