my guess is that the BBS are gonna be alittle bit lighter. But i doubt it will even be a big enough difference to care about. Just go with the one you like the best

agree w/ TheEngineer. w/ only 50 bucks difference just get what you want, you won't notice a difference w/ the weight i'm sure it's only a matter or 2-3lbs.

VIII Enkei - 20.50lbs
IX Enkei - 20.17lbs
BBS - 17.74lbs

The lighter anything attached tothe drivetrain the better. (That's in response to RCjr) That's why people pay so much for lightened cranks, pulleys, gears, flywheels, etc. And that's 2.5-3lbs per wheel. Same (if not more)weight savings as a lightened flywheel.
