Need an opinion on wheel for my LY EVO 8 *please vote*



17 X 8 Enkei RPF1, +35mm offset......
main reason considering this wheel---> wanna lose as much rotational weight as possible, I dont care that it is stock sized as long as I lose the weight....

My EVO is built to be a street/highway car.....

i dont like them. also next time just press "print screen" on your keyboard and it will take a screenshot, and then you can paste it into paint and crop it. instead of taking a picture of your computer screen lol

blahhh too much weight....

MR BBS weighs 17.7 pounds

3 or so pounds savings per wheel.....
