The wheels look nice but too heavy!
FYI: Heavy wheels will adversly effect the handling characteristic and deteriorate ride quality...plus longer braking distance too.

The one that I was looking/preferred to was the hyper-black 5zigen 17" wheels from the webpage + Falken Ze-512 tires are a good combination & decent price.

17" wheels around 16-18lbs each and under and 18" wheels 18-20 lbs or lighter..
20 is a lil more on the high side but its harder i think to find 18" lightweight wheels

The best I've seen weightwise, was the SSR-competition wheels from TireRack's. They are very expensive and I've heard story that they tend to bend when hit a nasty road's pothole. The 5Zigen brand from the Edgeracing website (17x7 = 15 lbs, 17x8 = 18lbs, 18x8.5 = 15.5 lbs) also have one the lightest wheels thus are high in quality of construction. Also, don't foget about the tire weight too. The Falken Ze-512 is very light weighted compare to others.

Basically, the lighter the "unsprung" weight is (this include the rotors/brake pads/wheels&tires weight/size...the whole assemble at each wheel), the better the suspension can response to the varies inputs from the drivetrain and the condition of the road/pavement. All of these variants translate to better performance in ride quality and handling.

Harbone - those Konig wheels do look pretty good. But, you need to decide if you are going after performance or looks. Heavy wheels, will not give you the performance I think you are after. As has been said already, there are quite a few rims that look good and are light at the same time. You're going to need some light rims if you want to keep up with me!
