Help me decide

I will be dropping my 06 asm soon. Nothing too crazy ~1.5-2" all around. I need some help deciding on wheels. I will be getting 18's. Primarily I am going for looks, but I do track my car once or twice a season and performance is important.

I have narrowed down my choices to these three.

RonJon Legends in liquid graphite



Mugen NR mirror face (i think)



Volk GTV in titanium gunmetal (i think)


Help me pick!

I voted for the Mugen NR's, they are beautiful IMO, but I recall a thread where someone got them and found out they are heavier than the stock wheels, just an FYI for your tracking.

NR looks clean. But RJ looks more sophisticated. Not a big fan of Volk....

I voted for the Mugens. If you are getting the RJ's, buy the 19's..

Does anyone know what the weight of the Mugens in an 18" is? I can only find the weight for those in a 15"!?!?!?! I cant believe they are cast and not forged - but they do look damn fine.
