Well even if you don't believe the engineering justification for a difference in feel (I do, but of course just wider wheels will win on a race track, subtle feel be damned), I think the continued interest in ET60 could easily be explained in the same breath as people who like to keep the car stock. The stock crowd wants to drive the car as delivered, a pretty normal inclination, but if you live around bad roads, 20 inch wheels won't work, so ET 60 18 inch wheels are the closest to the stock intention.

Waiting for 19 CTR to be delivered. I would buy if enough people to get deal.

So true, the shitty roads in PA are the only reason i didn’t stick with the stock 20s, and now am running 18in winters and the above 19s summer.

Awesome choice, very close to stock, they're just lighter! (and I think they look the part too)

I just put on my motegi 19x8.5s with 245/35-19 Michelin 4s tires. Fantastic setup both response, turn in and everyday livability

Are those the MR924? That’s the first time I’ve seen that wheel with the red badging that I actually liked. Looks nice.

How close to stock is the color? They look darker in your pictures then I'd imagine.
Not close enough, they’re like a very dark gunmetal, the problem is i have no idea if the black ones are gloss or matte, if they’re Matte it’ll not match the center caps, the gunmetal works well for IMHO because it’s a glossy finish so it matches well with the center caps.

You guys aren't going to believe this, I found another potential option: Enkei makes the NT03+M in a 18x9.5 +58. I called Evasive today and they are going to check w/ Enkei in Japan whether these will clear. It sounds like these will be special order wheels but if Japan clears them this may be a good option for everyone looking for something close to stock.

what does it weigh?

Those have been discussed before. They are 5x120.65 (5x4.75"), not 5x120.
