I’d go with the lighter of your choices. Unsprung weight is under-rated. ---

i don’t like any of them, but if you want one, go with the boost although the borbets are probably the better wheel. ---

get the lightest one. also i really DONT recommend those dunlop FM901 tires…the treadwear rating is 200ish and they dont even grip that well…they wear out super fast. ---

The lightest is great in theory, but in practicality they will probably bend in/around pgh with daily use and they will not really help the neon that much. Also, I don’t think any of those wheels would be considered light at all. They are all about looking decent at a reasonable price. Light=major loot, and then some more when they break. ---

Buy some Borbets, but not those ugly-ass ones. Better yet, find some Work Wheels. Work = teh hottness. ---

> [@BlueMeanieTSi](#): > > did u run them? i autoxed on them in the heavy ass talon and i liked them…grippier than my yokohamas that killed my center diff yeah when i bought my car it came iwth 2 stock michelin xgts (pooop) in front and 2 of the dunlops in back. i autoxed it once and it sucked pretty bad…so that explains the grip problem, but the dunlops prob had 80% tread when i got the car and four months later they were beat. i bought some dunlop direzza dz101s recently for only $59 a tire on [tirerack.com](http://tirerack.com) and i like them a lot…very grippy tires and they last a long time ---

Especially a 15" one. I’d think you’d be more likely to damage a cheaply made heavier wheel. We’re certainly not talking about $300 apice JDM bling wheels. ---

i don’t really like any of them…but if i ahve to pick i’d go with the borbets… the dunlop Direzzas are replacing the FM901… and are a better all around tire. ---

i like the darker gunmetal wheel, but i dont know how the boost’s would look on my car, anyone care to photochop? these wheels would just be used for around town, just something to make it look a little better. BFG’s are gonna go on my stock front wheels, the stock rt wheels are like 15lbs
