AFAIK the majority of 15" wheels fit, Steve. RPF-01 don't, so that makes everyone think, "faaaaaaaark, what are we going to do enkeis don't fit the world is going to end what others will fiiiiiiiiiitttt????????".
Don't panic; most fit. Trial before you buy.

Some watties are heavy... some aren't... the magnesium ones come to mind as the lighter examples...
(wot sliq said
) beat me to the punch he did
But I'm guessing watanabes are better reputed for their strength/quality?
Some of them are rebranded SSRs after all

ohh if you get the lighter one its 4.67kg kinda respectalbe
havier ones are like 6.67 kg which is kinda heavy
But they all look the same to me have to weigh them before you buy them.
