Looks fine to me. It doesn't have that offroad look like my EP3 had when it was on stock suspension.

Got my track setup on! 17x8 ET45 Enkei RPF1 with 245/40R17 Firestone Indy 500 summer tires. Stellar tires, and at 15.6lbs per wheel I feel like I am driving a go-kart!

I've read on various other forums that 1lbs of unsprung weight equals to 10lbs of sprung weight. This means that I've lost 12.5 pounds per corner (OEM Si wheel is 28.1lbs) or 50lbs all around, which means my car went from driving like a 2906lbs Si sedan to a 2406lbs Si sedan. Am I doing the math right?

No that math is wrong. 1lb of sprung weight equals 1lb of unsprung weight. Lowering unsprung weight will allow the suspension to react more quickly to bumps and dips resulting in a more nimble feeling car. Unsprung weight does nothing for acceleration

Rotational weight(or mass) is what you’re thinking of. Lower rotational weight with lighter wheels will free up some power since you’re spinning up less mass to get going. There’s a formula for it but it involves diameters of the before and after wheel setup. But I know it doesn’t equate to 500lbs less weight.
