I put some 18's on my car and they're significantly heavier than my factory 17's. My off-the-line performance suffered and worst of all, these great looking 18's on my car have prematurely and repeatedly worn out suspension parts.

If the 18s are a lot heavier, don't drive the car on bad roads or you'll pay dearly.
That's a great idea and i will definitely do so.

These are the wheels

As for the all seasons being no seasons I have to say I am pretty happy with the continentals so far. I actually considered putting the same tires on the new wheels but thought it would be cool to have a set of summer tires with a little better performance.
