OK, weight difference is negligible. Stings have a +35 offset so they will fill the wells better. X-Philes look awesome but tons of people have them Please vote. Here's some pics to help the decision. There just aren't any light weight wheels that I like enough to justify the cost. And silver is the only finish I want, except silver with a polished lip.

i obviously like the x-philes (thats my carbon blue one with them) but at the same time the stings look pretty cool too (i've always been a fan of thin 5 spokes) but they do look kinda stock. get the ro-ja formula 5's in gunmetal, they're similar to the stings but even cooler :) (and unfortunately way more $ too)

Dude, the RO_JA Formula 5's have been my first choice since I saw them over a year ago. But $450 a wheel for 18x8, and still 22lb each...I don't think so. I tried really hard to find a good price on those. Thanks for the input, it was a really hard choice but I went for the Sting's. I really like the sharp-edged spokes that go all the way to the edge of the wheel. Got 225/35-18 Potenza S-03 Pole Positions.

yea, those ro_ja's are really sweet, too bad they have to cost so much. maybe one day i'll save up enough and get them anyway (i think i'd rather put that money towards something else like a sportbike though). good luck with your choice, and make sure you post some pics whenever you get yours.
