Default new wheels...thinking bout these....need some advice and opinoins

i want to get 16 wheels, thinking about kosei, nippon,konig, or enkei....which brand is pretty good...i have enkei 17's now and they are too heavy...i need something comparable to stock wheel weight...i dont really want to add to much weight to the car...i think the stock rims weight approx 17-18lbs...i really want something in that range or lighter...any help would be appreciated

how much do your present rims weigh?

nippon has some good one at around 18 lbs (ex: hyperspeed av6, evo)... enkei also has some nice ones under 20lbs... donno what kinda rims u want, but i have some more listings, so let me know
