Need some help deciding on some new wheels. I know which ones I want and know which ones look better but would like to hear some other opinions. Sizing will be the same no matter which wheels I get.
First is the Enkei NT03-M
I really like these wheels. Love the bright finish and the high-end look they give the car. Obviously being Enkei wheels, they are light weight and were built with racing in mind. These are also high pressure spun cast.

Second is the Mazdaspeed MS-01mags
These look pretty good with the right setup. They are made specifically for the FD by Mazda and produced by Rays (Volk, Gram Lights) in a single size and color so they are definitely high quality. The reason I like these so much is they are made of magnesium, so tons of strength, and also because they are uber rare in the USA. The pics I posted are the only ones I can find with half decent shot of the actual wheels on a FD. These are also forged.

Now for the downsides.
The Enkei's are a popular wheel so no uniqueness really with them but still looks great. The Mazdaspeed's aren't quite as universal so you have to dress the car to make them POP. Oh, and price (don't want to get into actual price).
