Default Enkei's alright on my stang?

I'm looking for lighter rims for my mustang than the heavier than hell bullitts 17x9, 17x10.5. So i saw these Enkei's and was wondering if you guys thought they were too import. OR do you think they would look alright? I saw a cobra at a speed shop getting worked on but none of the rims were on it! So i don't know how they look on a car. The guys said it actually looks really nice with them on. I'm so undecided. But ~19 lb rims for $250 each isn't bad in my mind.

Here is what i was looking at.

I have Enkei RPF-1's on my '07 GT for autocross. 17x8's and they weigh 15.7 lbs
I've had RPF-1's on two other cars and they are great wheels and light

This is a must Ask me how I know.

I'll dig up some pic's later this week.

Without the hub centric rings the front wheels will wobble. Had my Discount Tire manager discuss this with Enkei. They sent hub centric rings, problem solved.

Awesome. I'll definitely consider these since there aren't many other rims in this price range with the light weight and size. Hopefully by the new year! Thanks for your help Jim. Really appreciate it.
