So anyone catch the new Enkei's in our bolt pattern?

Just wondering. I've been looking for new wheels like nobodys business for a long time now. Enkei came out with these wheels just recently and I think they are dead sexy, just wondering what you guys think? Trying to find out the weight of each wheel now...these would go great with some new tires for summer :)

edit: My brother has Enkei's and they look really nice, not really my style but the machining and quality seems dead on.

those look VERYY similar to the borbet type LS' that i've got. those have thinner spokes though, i'm not sure how great they would look on our model though.

i say this because the standard arc 16" 10 spoke are thickest, mine are very similar but have more spokes.. and are 18"

also, those are SUPER expensive, god damn! 1 wheel is nearly the cost of 3 borbets !

I know those borbet's, I was considering those along with the 5 spokes, and a million other wheels. I guess i'm a sucker for fine details because honestly the only thing I can say that I like about the Enkei's more is the thinner spokes, shinier silver/slightly polished finish, the style the bolts are machined in and the lip.

Is it worth the money? Probably not..but for me I would so pick those over the borbets.
