Aspecs, Enkei's, Weds, can't decide!
Going a cheaper alternative a slightly more lightweight......
Deciding between these four:
1. Gunmetal Aspecs (18x8.5, don't know weights):
(Jmkiang's car)
2. Enkei RP03's 18" (20.9 lbs)
3. Enkei RPF1 17" (16.5 lbs)
4. Weds Sport SA-90, 17x9 (17.9 lbs)

IMHO, I'd get #1 A-Specs #2 Enkei RP03s. I'm guessing you have a black car based on your avatar? lol. Aspecs would be sick looking, like jmkiang's. Only thing is it is gonna be hard to find the gunmetal A-Specs at a good price. Most Aspecs out there are the silver finish. But I know a site that sells brand new gunmetal aspecs for about $1100

Problem with the WEDs is the blue strip around the edge. It'll look like time-attacks but in blue. This doesn't flow right with the TL IMO.
The gun-metal ASPECs aren't orginal anymore. Looks good but not unique anymore.
I'd go with the Enkei RPO3s but in 19s tho... not 18s...

Somehow I knew the weight of those 20's factored into your decision to sell them. Get the RPF1's in 17x9 all around. If you want bigger, the 18" version is still good with regards to weight savings, the 19's, not so much. The ASPECS weigh about 25/26lbs, a little more than the OEM 17's.

^True, but it still requires more energy to turn than the OEM 17's; a marginal amount, yes, but still more. The 18's and 17's require less than the OEM 17's.

I think you should at least sell one of your rims before you purchase your third set. If you have already sold a set, then I would vote for the RPF1's. I myself will be getting the black rpf1's 17x8 (factory set-up) only 15.5lbs! Can't go wrong w/ that.

Yea I was gonna get those last yr but when I tried they told me they are discontinued. Maybe I was misinformed though. Those look HOT though. Great choice.
Don't make me regret it, jerk, haha.

My opinion even though I know it wont matter that much to you, I would not get any of these tires and stick with stock wheels. In your previous post you said you were going through some financial troubles and that you needed to unload your other wheels. I would just roll on stock wheels until you can comfortably afford the wheels without putting your self into financial burden.

I'm not into the racy look so you know I am going to say A-Spec gunmetals. Yeah they are overdone and boring by now but you can't say they don't go with the flow of the car. They are light enough and not unnecessarily heavy. There may be other wheels that are fractionally lighter and X4 you might save 10lbs.....but then you got some ugly wheels.....wanna be fast and ugly or slow and gorgeous?

ASpecs arent as light as you think... 26.5lbs. I think the Chrome-Look finish is a tad more too.. like 27.0lbs
Believe me, i've done alot of looking into light weights wheels/good price. Those Nismo 19's where a great deal when they were going on flea-bay for $550 shipped. 19 x 8.5 +35 20.9lbs
I think i got everybody on AZine beat. My Lexion 203s were 62lbs F / 64lbs R with tires on
i could believe it without tires, it was 32lbs F, 34lbs R
Dont forget about Axis Circuit.. 18", i think 16.7lbs or something

They're in the wheel spec thread. It was around page 26 before the new 40 post per page setting after the conversion.
