Haha. Great advice I get the point. Sometimes I can get a little bogged down on minor details, especially when it comes to my car. Cheers lads. I'll post pics once I decide what I want!

It's not the total weight of the car, it is the inertia of the wheels where you want lightweight.

But as said, for a street car unless you buy chrome anchors, its all the same.

Have you considered RPF1s? Very nice looking rim and light too....

Out of the two options you have listed in the OP, the Ultraleggaras are thinner spoked and therefore show more brake....

Personally i like thinner spokes on cars with boss brakes otherwise thicker to hide that shit.

Just out of curiosity, is wheel spacer illegal? I want less offset, but I don't want neither spend $4000 on rims nor downgrade from forge to cast.

Just trawl forums/ internet for second hand sets.

You don't have to be a baller spending 4K to get good low offset strong jap rims.
