Question about Wheels.

I am currently looking at 3 different choices in wheels, the Gram Lights 57s, SSR competion, and the SSR GT2. I like all of these wheels but the price and slightly the looks of the Gram Lights have help me lean towards them a bit. But i want to know if the 3-4 pound weight savings (well 12-16 pounds i suppose) are worth spending the extra money on the SSR's? I have heard wheel weight is more important than just regular weight savings, but i am not sure. well thanks in advance

Rotating weight is worth alot more than sprung weight. I chose the RPF1's because I liked the look but they are very light for a non forged wheel and very strong. 18x8.5 are like 17-18 lbs. If you can save 2-3 lbs per wheel that's great but don't beat yourself up about it. Get what fits (the look and wallet) because once you put them on you won't know the difference unless they are noticably lighter or heavier than what you currently run. Don't forget the centering rings.
Happy shopping. Shopping for wheels is soooo much fun. I want 19" HRE's next.................
