Default What would YOU do? 16" vs 17' heavy ***!!!!

ok heres the skinny:
I am considering 16" Konig holes and 17" Core Racing...
now the thing is, the Holes weigh like 16lbs, whereas the Core's weigh 20 lbs.
However i LOVE the way the Core Racing wheels look... and i mean LOVE!
SO what can i do... i mean the Core's weight the same as my stock wheel so... it wouldnt be any different i don't think..,
would you sacrifice miniscule performance for looks?

i have 17's going 18's next, yes there heavy but i admit i love the look, like u do.....but hmmmmmmmmm i say whatever works for you....... if u have some horsepower im sure u can get away with the bigger wheels performance wise, or if your not lazy just take off the 17's if u think your gonna race or something......... i dunno just some suggestions.

do what you like mang, it's your car.
keep this in mind, get whatever you want, just dont regard it later on..
you know how much hassle will be to sell the rims and get another set

then get the rims you'd rather see your car sitting on. dont compromise cuz of performance loss if that's not your main concern.
