On street I have a set of Foose 5-Speeds 19"x8.5" and 19"X 9.5". Absolutely beautiful chrome wheels. But they weigh about 25 lbs each.

For track I throw on Enkei RPF1's. Not as nice to look at but they weigh ~17lbs? each.

It is an absolute night and day difference in the feel and handling of the car.

If you are not going to track the car, then you honestly should just spend the money on looks and not performance. There is no reason to spend the money on lightweight racing wheels if all you are going to do is zoom zoom onto freeway ramps and drive your GF around.

Totally depends on what you want to do.
