I am... If you can pick them up (I don't want to be buying packaging and sending them to the post office) you can have them for nothing. They need painting again as they've collected numerous stone chips. Paintstripper and re-spray FTW!
There is a big difference to my race wheels, mainly due to the circumference difference. By using the hefty 205 width, 50 profile r888's, my effective final drive goes from 4.56 to 4.3, which is like my S1 box turning into a 1.4 XSI box. Also, they are 2.5kg lighter per corner (with tyres on) so that makes a difference too.

Leave the postage with me, but they're not coming off right this moment... Consider them yours though.
The stats in 15":
Speedline Turini - Weight = 8.1kg Width = 6.5"
Superleggera - Weight = 4.9kg Width = 7"
So performance, there's a big difference.

No don't! Your's is stunning! 
If you get a set of Leggera's, then use them for the track. Whatever you do, don't sell the Turini's, they look so smart, perfect road / show wheels!
Before you think any further, and this is purely my own opinion, you must decide what you want from the car! Are you building a race car, or do you want a show car? If you get stuck somewhere in between those 2 choices, you're in a world of pain, and compromise will be a bastard. So work out what you want, and then go from there.

An improvement of the handling from reducing unsprung weight can make the car more fun to drive.
Come on lee I thought you would know this

The unsprung weight on the suspension is more important to reduce than the overall weight of the car many people feel. Hence why people hunt for lightweight wheel/brake set ups.

just look at the best drivers cars in the world, cateham csr/ferrari f40/porsche gt3 rs they all have one thing in common...
there is a reason ferrari went to a lot of trouble to use carbon fibre instead of another material and lighter wheels instead of some that easy to manufacture.
to make a fun/fast car weight is not what you want.
