OZ Racing rims compared to Enkei rims?

[shadoof77]

so im in a debate here between the OZ Racing Crono HT Black or the Enkei Performance Imola. which do you think is the better rim?
OZ racing weighs 19.5lb
Enkei weighs 22.6
so 3lb difference multiplied by 4 which only saves 12lbs so not much.
Just wondering what your guys' opinions are on each rim
thanks

Go with whichever one looks best, you have to live with it.

wouldnt it be 12lbs in total weight?

get the ones that look better... 12 lbs is not going to effect any time at the track or in autocross. the general rule to live by according to a physics book is.... 100lbs = .10 sec drop in 1/4 mile et..... as for the wheels... pick ones that reflect your style... i prefer the sleeper look personally.

white now but soon to be blue... like a subaru blue kinda

unfortunately the rims i got on the car, are shot. the rim wall has a crack in it. it'll only last with air in it for about a day or so. so i mine as well swap for something nice

haha yes thanks for the correction

rotational weight and gravitational weight are not the same. Rotational weight has everything to do with mass displacement where a more compact, light rim is ideal for a higher acceleration.
So 12lbs rims is much more then 12 lbs sub.

You should check out the OZ ultraleggera's or Enkei RPF1s they are even lighter than the ones you listed. I have the 18" OZ's on my car, mated with a set of 245 40 yoko s-drive rubber and couldn't be happier. I switched from a set of 19 ADR sterlings and probably saved 10 lbs of weight on each wheel total. After the switch I definitely noticed a big difference in cornering.
