I m looking at two different 18 inch rims to purchase ..... I just put on Tein S Tech springs and Tokico struts

Enkei are the cheaper, but OZ are lighter by 4lbs

Personally I have always liked OZ for their light weight rims, at one point I was trying to find the older superleggera's. Although I think they would all look good.

i'm a sucker for mesh wheels so i'd vote enkei. why are you considering 18x8 for oz but only 18x7.5 for the enkei's?

Half a inch makes a difference when it comes to rims ? Enkei 18x8 = 24.6 lbs looking to upgrade stock 16's figure if I can go with lightest weight plus best design than I can't lose

Well I'm partial to Gunmetal and Enkei lol. So I would pick those... Especially if your Lara is Diamond White Pearl as the Dark Gunmetal compliments the pearl quite well. But personally I think Toy1mzfe's rims look best on our car. They have both Lexus version and a nearly identical TSW version as well. I'm a big fan of 5 spoke

Props to Toy1mzfe as his ride is super clean and sick!!!

I saw someone with these on a Diamond White Pearl Lara too... This is an older TSW model I believe. Also similar to Toy1mzfe's rims.
