Please help me decide between these two wheels..

What would you choose?

Speedy Lite-9 15x7



or..

RPF1 silver 15X7



I know the decision is entirely up to me, just want to get some opinions. I really like way the Lite-9 looks, it's only $500, but it weights almost 19 lbs if not more ..my other option would be of course the RPF1, almost twice as expensive, but well..yall know about this wheel already..what do you guys think?

Looks good! What's the weight on those? I'd like to auto-x in the future but there isn't a big variety in 15x7 that I like for the Fit..

i can't find a weight on the 15"x7" but the 17"x7" only weight in at 11.5 lbs so i'd imagine that the 15"x7" are around 10 lbs they are forged and super strong
i really like the RPF1 but i see them on every single tuner car where i live - so i'll pass but at 9.8 lbs there not a bad choice

I think the Enkei RPF1 looks best but not in silver. To me, black rims are pretty dope.

wow, that's a great weight at 17s, then 15s must be at least 2-3 lbs less..not bad at all. yeah, the rpf1s are played out, but I was thinking of maybe painting it like a titanium color or even a shiny silver kinda like this:

yeah I don't know about tem in black though. When I looked at them in tirerack, they barely stand out in an SSM, hence why I wanted the silver ones..

thanks for the input guys

In this color they look even better imo..but I don't think they make them in shiny silver for 15s..so they'd have to be custom painted, but these are ballers..

I went to the speedy wheels site, the black ones do look nice as well as the white "mugen nr" looking ones. How are these wheels anyway? weight? The Enkei's seem best from a performance perspective.

I saw the lite-9s today in my hands after waiting almost 2 weeks, but I returned them. The paint is actually shiny black, not how it looks on their website with a gunmetal color and they weight about 15 lbs, not 19 as I was originally told. They are very nice though, but I don't wanna go through the the hassle of having to paint new wheels. I guess 15.5 lbs is not bad..but I've decided to go with the Enkeis instead; at the end, you get what you paid for..
