Hey Richy boy!!!!!!!!!!!!! Been a while bro, hope all's well

The reason why I am a bit lost is because I still kinda like my current wheels, especially when they are extremely light (approx. 16lbs each) compared to the other better looking ones available on the market. I will gain another 11lbs+ more unsprung weight on each corner with the ones I'm looking at and the thought of losing some performance (with a small HP car) is a bit discouraging BUT I wouldn't mind a change in styling.......

An extra peice of info is I probably won't need to dish out any extra cash after selling my wheels to get the new ones (N.B. but lose some performance), would this change your views? Many thanks for your feedback so far.

11lbs on each corner.. Your car will feel considerably different IMO.

#2 - I always like more of a simple look, and those rims remind me of classic BBS's...BWTFDIK, I like Monoblock Aero II's
