Wheel vote

I need your opinion on these wheels, I have a EBP 5th gen, and I have narrowed my options down to either Rota subzero's white, or giovanna kyoto white wheels, either way I will definately be getting 17" and white, I just need your opinion between the 2, they kyoto's weigh 20 lbs. a piece and the subzeros are 16.5 lbs i think, also, do lighter rims really give you any better performance anyway? thanks guys!!

i guess im going against the flow...but i've always liked the style of the kyoto type rims, the nice thick 5 spoke rims, sort of like stock, but cleaner look!!

heh sorry man.. I said that they RESEMBLED mine. I didn't say that mine were Rotas! my rims are actually 17" Enkei RSF-2s. and they're not that light... 19.8lbs which is around the same as stock SH ones. but I didn't know crap about wheels back then so I'm pretty happy that they aren't too heavy like some others out there~

anyways, heres a pic:


hmm whys that one so bronze.. its supposed to be a silver finish... ok this ones better:
