Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums Modifications Wheels & Tires new rims weight or lip ?

i have a problem , i'm looking into buying some rims 17" cause my tires need replacing and i figure might as well buy rims at the same time.

i cant deside between lightweight rims or rims with a 2" polished lip. after a month i'm still torn between the two any thoughts would be helpful.

benifit of lightweight rims- makes car faster,handle better,ect.

benifit of rims with a 2" lip looks and they weight about 19.5 same as stock csvt wheels so no performance gain.

i can't deside between

the 17" oz superlegera 17" 15.4 lbs $260 each.
or
the 17" konig GT-R five spoke 2"lip 19.5lbs. $150 each.

can't deside if the peformance gained from the oz wheels outwieghts the looks of the konig's.

4.1 lbs x 7 lbs of rotating mass = 28.7 + 4 = 115.8 lbs
total weight savings with the oz wheels,over stock 19.5 16" csvt wheels.

i havent factored in the extra weight of the 17" tires vs. the 16" tires but you get the idea.
