OK, so I am trying to pick between:
JS1

OR
JS5
http://www.asaalloywheel.com/asawheel_e/wh...?pdt=JS5&sel=1p

Both are sold by tirerack.com. JS1 is 18.5lb and JS5 is 20lb. I am leaning towards JS5, cause it has a machined lip. Do you think both are structuraly same?
Chicago is capital of potholes, that is why I am worried, and also why I am sticking with 16s.

Personally, I like the JS5 design the best. If you want to make your car look good, go with what you think looks best. Otherwise, if you want your car to go fast, save the weight. I would think both are fully capable of Chicago potholes.

Lighter weight rim all the way...I also don't really like the 3 piece sort of designs with the protruding screws. Harder to clean

The JS1 is much nicer. I prefer really simple wheel designs, and I think the screws on the lip make the rim look too busy. JS1 all the way. BTW, how much do each cost per rim?

$106

I like the JS5's better. I dont like all the extra holes on the other rim. The JS% looks much smoother and better.

I like the cleaner look of the JS1 better, plus it's lighter and will be easier to clean. It's a pain to clean around those screw heads with just a wash mitt

After looking and both and figuring out that JS1 actualy has a cap covering those extra holes, I am strongly going towards JS1. 18.5lb per rim. I liked the lip thing on JS5, but the 1.5lb less in weight (at the same price) is worth more to me now that I know more about unsprung weight.
