Lighter is always better when It comes to rims. The less rotating mass you have the easier it is to rotate, so stick with the RS 5's when your looking for performance.

:lol: The less you can spin your rims .. the less you have to worry about breaking an axle

Sell the rims and buy the turbo hell ya best idea! Also if you are looking for good rims that are light and to me atleast sexy as hell......ROTA!

I am going with a set of Subzero's 17's gunmetal with polished lip with pretty good tires for the street. And 15's with falken drag radials for the track.
