I'd like opinions on these two wheels please.

I'm getting a new set of wheels. Here are the two main wheels I'm considering.

ASA LS5 17x7 and Kosei K1 Anthracite 17x7.5. Both wheels are exceptionally light, which is what I am after, and dark colored, which is also what I am after. ASA LS5 is 17.0 lbs in 17x7" and K1 is 16-16.5 lbs in 17x7.5.

Go here and make the maxima black, then try each of those wheels on the Max and then tell me what you think.

I was going to get the EM9's but I'm going to hold out for a while.

Nice choices I would lean towards the ASA LS5s. They kinda look a bit better. How'd you get the info on their weight??

The kosei weight is listed in Tire Racks competition ads. They run these ads in race magazines like Grassroots motorsports and such. The ASAs looked like a light design to me, and I liked them so I called tire rack to find out and the nice man on the other end told me.
