Default I NEED UR OPINION!

Well auto-x season is here, and i have 2 sets of wheels that I am trying to decide which to race on. I have a set of black enkei j10s which are 17X7's which are spotless, and a set of silver replica m5 wheels, which are 17X8, and have significant road rash. For the racing i'll be running 215/45/17 goodyear eagle f1 gsd3's, and for my street tires pirelli pzero nero 215/45/17 fronts 225/45/17 rears. Which wheels do you think I should run for track, and which wheels should i run on the street??

put them on a scale, use the lighter ones for the track.

Enkei's = Track (lighter)

M5 Reps = Road (look better)
