Enkei Classic..... Rota RB Alternative?

Found these on Tire Rack. They only come in 16in but they're kinda sportin that classic MINI look. Could be an alternative to the Rota RB. They look a bit more sinister......

Tire rack offers the 15in for the base cooper. The Classic are not light, 15in come in at 16.3 pounds. The 16in come in at 18.65 pound, 2.4 pounds heavier than the 16in RB. I love the RBs and would consider the 15in but haven’t found anyone that has done it on a base R56 or R55, might require modification to the lower ball joint bolt/nuts. With the 16in RB I’d be adding 2.55 pounds per corner from the 15in R100 spoolers and that would just be disappointing
