I was in the same situation, and ended up biting the bullet and getting a second set of wheels. I found a set of Carrera Lightweight reproductions from an aftermarket company on eBay. I was able to negotiate the price with them, and got them shipped for under $700. I weighed the aftermarket wheels with the PSC's, and they're 3-5 lbs lighter each then my stock 18" Twists with Falken AS tires. Another nice bonus is the ability to throw either set of wheels in the back of my truck to take them to the tire shop when it's time to mount and balance a new set. This opens the door to get the tires I want at the best online price, shop around for mounting/balancing rates, and my car stays out of the hands of whoever is working at the tire shop this week.
