Default Light weight wheels - OZ or Rota?

Im after a set of lightweight 15" alloys for my siR...

Basically i want as light as possible, but not any that will break if they run over a snail.

Just looking for peoples views an opinions of Rotas and OZ Superleggeras.

Thanks for looking,

Ryan

definatly go with those rotas for a crx. I think silver would look good on your car. I am not a big fan of the red ring.

Here goes my two cents, how about the ENKEI RPF1, these are also one of the lightest wheels around. Here goes a link

I own a set of the O.Z.'s and I absolutly love them. They are def light, and great quality. My sister has a set of rota gt3's which look okay but I have heard a few stories of rota's not being able to hold up, but nothing bad about O.Z.'s. My brother has a set of enkei's his aren't as light but he hasn't had any problems with them for 4 years. (all three sets of wheels are in 15in)
