I am wanting to buy a nice set of wheels i.e. volk, work, ssr and etc. However, where I live, pot holes and other wheel hazards are quite common. Most people here drive trucks and things of that nature.

Here is my question. What is a QUALITY light weight rim that I can use for autoX but at the same time be affordable to replace? I want the curb appeal as well.

Here are my current options:
Enkei Rpf01
Enkei PF01
Buddy Club P1
Kosei K1

I looked into the Advan RGII but I would be worried about damaging such a high quality rim.

I have a set of Drag DR16's on my hatch already, but they are well.....Drags.

I do not wish to spend more than 1800.

 

The manufacturing procedure is almost identical for all the wheels you're looking at (including the Advan RGII), so strength differences between them will be very minimal. For any sort of Appearance-related requests, see the Appearance/Cosmetic forum.

 

Ok. What about weight? How important is it to have an extremely light weight wheel?

 

Do some research and that will answer your question?

 

For fuel consumption and acceleration, you may want a lighter wheel. Any of the wheels you posted will be on the lighter side.

 

Lower unsprung weight will also improve ride particularly on rough roads. Wheel diameter is going to play a big role in ride comfort as well. I'm a fan of small-diameter, narrow, lightweight wheels with dedicated summer tires for daily driving.
