Default discount tire rims!

what do you guys think of these rims? which one is your choice? do you think theyre good quality, relatively light rims? will they hold up to everyday abuse? track abuse?

I plan on ordering the MB Motorsport Weapons in 17 x 9 tomorrow. They seem like the best bang for the buck. The TSW's and the Enkei's look heavy...

I was thinking about getting the Weapons, too, but they're cast aluminum, and that's not the strongest, but it's cheap. I'm pretty sure they're fine, but just having to think about that bugs me. Weights:

18x7.5 = 21 lbs
18x8 = 22 lbs
18x9 = 23 lbs

The 5z's are sweet, too. I don't know anything about them though.

The others are pretty cool, but I don't think their complex lines are compatible with the Z at all. They're too sci-fi.

I have the 5Zigens in hyperblack and they are cool wheels. I wanted to sell them for some cash but had no offer, so I decided to keep them and polish the center and maybe the lip to give it a different look.

If you're tracking the car, the 5Zig will work the best for you.

They look cool from far away, but I don't like all the intricate details up close.

okay.. so now its a battle between 18" axis reverbs and 17"or 18" WeaponR rims.. what are the strong and weak points of each? which one is lighter? more durable? i know for sure axis is much more .. but i also think its more durable and looks better... which do you guys choose?
