I like my BBS rims better that the Enkies that I had on my 03. They are also noticably lighter. The only part I liked better about my Enkies was how they were easier to clean.

From what most people have said on here, the enkies are 24lbs and the bbs are 18lbs. I havent tried weighing them myself but I've seen quite a few people post those weights on here.

Im going to have to go with my enkies just for the look of it personally. I dont like having to many spokes like the BBS's have.

I like the silver BBS wheels that I have. I don't like the dark ones from the MR.

and 24lbs of unsprung weight from wheels makes a lot bigger difference than taking weight from the body of the car.

For some reason I like the current enkies better than the BBS. Easier to clean and I like the look.
