I'm really torn between the black Imola (20 lbs) and the RP03 (17 lbs) for my Asphalt.

I love how the black on gray looks, which is why i'm getting the matte black badges, but I also really like shaving 3 lbs of unsprung weight per corner.

So what would you prefer? Weight and looks or looks alone?

Are you planning to just DD your car or since you're out in Cali, do you plan on autocrossing/track days...

It'll help us make a recommendation to you if we're provided with details such as those.

DD for sure, but I'm too tall to fit in the car in a helmet, so I won't be able to race it at all :/

Scoot the seat forward an inch or two and tilt the seatback further back. You'll gain an inch or so above your head.

The RP03's are nice looking wheels. I have them on my Supra.

If you want a set of black wheels, why not the PF01's? I have a set of silver PF01's on my NSX.

Here's pictures of each car.

^ Pretty safe bet that either the RP03s or PF01s will work well with the 86 both stylistically and functionally.

I'm an RPF1 wh0re but I could live with PF01s - almost as light.

RP03 is a nice blend of style and light weight. Not the lightest, but no fatty either.
