(All weights are for 16 inch, because that's what I know...) Rage 5.0, 19 lbs. Rage Breaker, 19 lbs. Enkei RS5, 16.5 lbs. 2.5 lbs of rotating, unsprung weight off of each corner, priceless.

I have different weights for the Enkeis... Like I said before I am thinking about them...
RS5 16" --> 17.6 Lbs 
RS5 17" --> 19.8 Lbs

Too bad the hub section on all of them is so "busy". For that reason I like the SVT Focus rims. I voted for #2.

I've never seen a lightweight wheel that didn't have a lot of material removed from the hub area. I'll take busy/light over smooth/heavy any day. As for the dual drilling, it doesn't look as bad on the car as it does in these pics, maybe because we only have 4 holes instead of 5. Not sure.

If no...why? For my own curiosities...
That's true... a good question... If I was to buy 17" the SVTF or the RS5 would be my first choice... (price weighting more) but I still love the Type T but they are over my budget....

I picked the Breaker only because the center is cleaner, as far as no little holes but the last wheel does have a cool centercap that covers everything up.
