    get the reps. who cares about brands and such as long as it still looks good?

    and for street driving and even some track/autox use, lighter wheels wont make any noticeable difference. hell, our rain tires are mostly mounted on the stock miata 15x7" NB wheels, and some are on even dumber wheels. like this one set of pure rice wheels that weigh like 150000000000lbs per wheel. theres no difference unless youre really trying to do like F1 or some other crazy racing class.

    replica wheels FTW.

    please op disregard everything he just said. YOU can tell a difference in wheel weight, i used to have 46.5 lbs rims and tires and now my guess is that they are just at 30 lbs per rim and tire and there is a HUGE difference in handling and braking

    but as far as rep vs real. that is your call, but you can notice a difference in wheel weights.
