if you want shiney, you can go polished aluminum, you will feel a difference if you have chromies on your car though, because of the increased rotational mass.
im not sayin im right and your wrong or anything, but don't you find that your car is slow already compared to other cars you have driven(guessing you have driven something else with a more power), theres no way id be able to stand that!

Thanks for all the compliments. As for the drop, I can't decide between the H&R Sports or the Eibach Sportlines...

most of the time people are in for show rather than go, i'm one of the majority ... i have 17s on my car as well, they do slow the car down, but i could care less ...
those look exactly like Racing Hart J8s, nice pick

Why do you think they slow the car down? Weight wise, I think steelies are just as heavy as a light 17" rim. According to wheelweights.net, Enkei RS5 and RS6 are about 20LBS, I don't know how heavy the RS7's are, but I don't think a pound or two per wheel is going to make much of a difference on an already slow car (not to diss your car, but it's not like we're driving rockets here...)
Anyways, the rims look tight and they're definitely worth a little speed loss if anything.
thats my 2 cents.

Where are your "chrome rims"?
To me they look like these ones:

"Oversize hub caps make wheel look 2" larger
Easy to install
Brilliant finish, will not rust"
