enkei bortex rpm2 vs stock wheels

hey i looked up the weight of my rims and they are 19.4lb vs the stock SE wheels which are 19.6lbs. Thats without the tire right? It seems pretty awesome that my 18x8 wheels weigh as much as the stock 16s.

Props on those wheels. They're pretty nice, and light. Too bad the fitments are limited for that model.

I think I may be buying those wheels for my maxima, but in an 18x7.5. They weigh just 18 lbs in an 18, and I think look GREAT on a maxima! My Max is white, I like that there is no lip or anything, that makes the wheel look bigger IMO.

One thing I want to add, these wheels are incredibly strong! I drive through Manhattan on a daily basis, nailed numerous potholes, construction steel covers, manhole covers, the BQE, all with a 40 aspect ratio tire and these have not 1 bend in them. The quality of Enkei rims is top notch, plus when clean, the finish is beautiful. It stands out from the usual chrome, black and plain silver aftermarket wheels. The only negative thing about them is that due to the many spokes, it takes forever to clean!!

Not trying to be a hater, but keep in mind that while they're the same weight, with the 18's the weight is farther away from the hub so it will have more of an effect.
