CT Wheels, wheels, wheels...

Ok I have to make a desicion. I need to buy a spare set of wheels and although I would love a set of Enkei F1's I do not have the money... I am between a set of 17" Momo, Tenzo R's or Konigs... Any thoughts on these brands? Any of those that I should stay away from? Thanks! BTW my car is a 2009 RX8 R3.

Well I know my wheels are better than those I mentioned... but asside from being over $900 each, they are heavy, and at that sticker price and weight (but mostly price) I dont want to use them on the track. So answering your question I want them for winter tires but most of all for the track...

Lots of options then. The fn01r-c and RPF1 are proven track wheels. The PF01 is replacement wheel for the RPF1 so it should be a great wheel for the track as well. These wheels are not really expensive either. A little more than the brands you listed but much better quality.
