Motegi MR12 vs Enkei RSF2

Looking to finally get some new wheels for my EBP 4dr. I'm definitely gonna go with Silver 16's so dont suggest 17s/18s. Still trying to decide on the look and quality. I know Enkei has quality stuff and I've heard good things for Motegi as well. What do you guys think of these? And does anyone know of any other similar style wheels? Looking mainly for straight, double-spokes.


Motegi MR12



Size......Bolt Pattern (mm) Offset (mm) Weight (lbs) Color................Price
16" x 7" 4/100 & 4/108.......42...............19...........Painted: Silver - $135.99
16" x 7" 4/100 & 4/114.3.....42...............19...........Painted: Silver - $135.99


Enkei RSF2



Size......Bolt Pattern (mm) Offset (mm) Weight (lbs) Color.............Price
16" x 7" 4/100 & 4/114.3.....40..............18.5.........Painted: Silver $121.99

The enkei would probably look better in 16's than the motegi's more of an open wheel look

I like the Motegi's. I think they'd look really good.

Definately the Enkeis.... if you're looking a the split 6 spokes... OZ Superleggeras.... they're like 12 lbs in 16"... and about $220. The motegis just look bulky and heavy. I've got them in 17" on my car.

Getting 16s cause the streets are horrible in Boston. Also I dont want to sacrifice too much performance.

Those OZs look good, but I dont know if I can spend an extra $400 on the wheels.
