They'll be a little rougher than the Ultralights but they'll be fine.

No. They're the same. Just a different spring rate..

The ultralights use a lighter weight wire to reduce unsprung weight. I've been very satisfied with them.

well i guess nothing can be worst then what i have been dealing with for 3 months, i got my 16" rims installed they were a present from my dad, but he wants me to get the 18s i bought now, because the 16s are to small, but in indiana a couple months back there was a huge flood, and destroyed alot in the place i got my rims installed, so they had to get a new balencing machine, and they didnt really know how to work the new one, so they balanced my wheels 1 time, and i had a real bad vibration in the car because they were balanced right, i took them back 30 minutes later, took them 2 hours to rebalance them, they were like it should be fine, so i took it out again and still that same vibration, i was like f it im not taking it back so ive been dealing with unbalanced wheels for quite awhile.

Also will the wheels being unbalanced destroy any parts of my car?

No, not really. It can lead to premature tire wear.

and it can lead to Excessive cussing when going over 100mph from the vibrations, i cause the tires to wear enough by doing 40 second drift burnouts through parkinglots
