Rims....Classy or Agressive?
D2 Autosports's response on myg37.com:
I've never owned 20's so I don't know if thats heavy or not.
I'd put the weight of the 20" VOSSEN at about 27-28lbs or so. Certainly nothing too heavy. 20's don't slow the car down alot. Remember its not as if 19's weight 10lbs less or something. A comparable 1pc 19" wheel will be about 2lbs less
I dug around and it looks like the Vossens weigh closer to 29-30lbs which actually is not that heavy for 20" wheels. My semi-lightweight 19s are 22lbs so I think it does somewhat make a difference. If I remember my ricer math correctly, I believe 1lb = 3hp at the wheels so 7 to 8lbs * 3 = 21 to 24whp.
Actually that thread was referring to the same wheels.

So the forged version is probably a little lighter. I inquired about the forged version and they're about 1400 per wheel. The cast version is a little over 1400 from Discount Tire.

So the cast is 1400 per set? If so, that's not bad.
You want high contrast. Black on dark blue does NOT contrast well whereas blue on silver looks ****!
Don't have to listen to my advice but I honeslty feel that these "creative" paint jobs on rims are just a fad that will NOT last long. Silver rims have been around since before creation itself. Why try to fix something that is not broken? Now if you had a white car, only SOME black rims would look nice...maybe I just have a thing against black rims. And NO i've never owned black rims, my advans were "dark gun metallic"

Well said
If I had a bigger budget I would have gone for the burning black vsxx's, but gotta do best with what I got. The quote I got from Discount Tire was $370 for 20x9 and $420 for 20x10.5.

For our cars and the g37 they offer +38f and +45r. I know, they're weaksauce, but from all the pics I've seen on our cars, they already sit pretty flush. I was going to run the setup for the 350z, which is +25f and +30r, but since I'll have to run more camber, that'll eat up the tire faster, which I can't afford to replace. Also, I'm only dropped on Eibachs, so it might look funny that I'm running stretched tires when I'm not even that low.
