Default tire/rim weight

if a tire and rim combo weigh about 2 lbs over stock, will you notice a difference on all 4 rims and tires? right now im debating on 18" enkei NTOM+03 or 18" OZ superlagga... if the weight doesnt make much of a difference, i think im gonna save me about $400! now if weight really isnt an issue... im thinking of going 19" TSW thruxton or anything else.. have about $1600 max to spend on rims/tires... so what to do?

If want something light go with the enkeis, they are semi cheap and very durable. My favorites are the RPF1s. I don't think you will notice a couple lbs though, but every pound does count. I know alot of people like the look of 19's and you might not notice the weight difference but you'll diffently notice that harsher ride difference.

you wont know the weight difference at all

now strength wise, there is a big difference in the wheels you are looking at though, with the nod going to Enkei as being far more durable
