Cobb AP or Enkei RPF1s?
I'm considering one or the other. Which one will provide the feeling of better accerleration? Cobb says +5% power/tq. Wheels weigh about 4 lbs lighter per corner.

I know the AP has more functions than an increase in power/tq, but that's all I'm concerned with, with my above question. Plus the lighter wheels would better braking and suspension characteristics.

Thoughts?

the wheels, so the car would benefit in more areas than one.

having gone from 26 lbs 19" rims to 17 lbs 18" rims, and owning the AP, I think the AP would give you more bang for the buck.
