First of all, nothing personal against you RallyMini, this is the explanation:
I really like the smaller diameter, wide a$$ rims, looks really nice, especially on European cars, such as VWs and Minis, however those rims look extremely awful on that car, and poor MSFIT, what did he do wrong to deserve this I like when the rims and tires fill the fenderwells, stick out a little bit, does not matter if 15s or 20s, as long as it is done right. That is a photoshop so prolly would look a little better in life, especially on MSFITs car ( ). But honestly, he told exactly where those rims belong to.
Again, if I offended you, sorry, but still doesn't change what I think .

After just buying 17 inch Motegi FF7s with some 215/45/17 F1 GS D3s I just didn't think they looked right,so today I put on some Enkei J10s mounted on some Pirelli P Zero Nero's. What do you all Think. I also went from 46lb per corner to 37lb per corner. S lites and eurfori were 49lb per corner.

Granted not as lite as a a lot of 18 inch wheels but these are for the street not the track. For track I will use a 16 inch wheel more then likely comming in at around 12 to 14 lbs.

the weight difference was funny when i was swapping the Slites to the holeys ... I needed 2 hands and grunting to take the slites off ... and picked up the holeys in one hand and held them on with one hand while installing them ... they are like insanely light ...
i was at a 46lbs a corner with the slites and toyo proxes 4
now I am at ... at about 27 lbs a corner

yah....i agree. That would be ideal. The holeys have a great look and weight, but the width could be a bit bigger.
#1994
exactly, i really do not care if they are bigger diameter, as long as wider, that is my new thing nowadays, wider rims prolly 16s, old school Vdub look, i had everything possible on 17s and 18 territory, and will try something different this time.
BTW, this is a historic moment you and I agreed on something, finally
