Yes, you were 100% correct, this is "sprung" weight because it is part of the suspension that interacts with the chassis via springs.
I just roughly measured the sidewalls on the 18s and 17s. The 17s have approx 10mm more sidewall height over the 18s. I was only able to get a relatively rough measurement with the caliper but it was something like 70 mm versus 82 mm. Then I test drove the car and the difference is substantial over the sharp little bumps. So I think I'm going to swap Wheels and that might be enough for me to get what I want.
The reason for the delay was the Tiptronic car was stored at my other house which is an Airbnb and I did not have access to it while it was rented. I have too many cars so I am storing a couple cars over there. As soon as the registration comes back from Sacramento DMV, delayed because this car was just re imported from canada. I will put the tiptronic car up for sale. I'm definitely keeping the five-speed and I'm really enjoying this little gem.
