Default Wheels question

Hey guys, I have a question.. currently i'm riding on 15 inch stockers, but i just got an offer today to trade them for 16" Enkei wheels...what do you think? would they be lighter and improve performance? if not i dont think i wanna do it, even though they'd look good on the car.. here's what he said: The tread is almost 100% a few thousand miles on them.. the wheels are in good condition.. few scratches here and there, but the wheels are not bent. Pics below. The tire size is 205/55/16 and they are Road Hugger's. Bolt pattern is 4 x 114.3 or 4 x 100 the pattern is universal. Comes with lugnuts.

here are pics:

do a research on those enkei's and find out how much it weighs vs your stockies.

there ain't no way 16s are lighter than 15s unless the 15s are light weight.

If you pass on them, ask the guy if he wants to trade for a set of stock 92-93 Prelude Si wheels (the ones that look sorta like the 99-00 Civic Si rims).
