Buying rims, need advice please

My fellow G drivers,

I am considering buying a set of 20" wheels made by OCG racing online. I have never ordered rims online before so I am a little nervous. The offset is +30mm front and +35mm rear. The weight of the wheels is 32 lbs each. Will that fit our G-sedans? 32 lbs seems really heavy, but I'm no racer by any means. I really like the black lip and look of the rim, and they are $1099 for all 4.

Feedback and advice is welcome. Thanks

My experience, 32 lbs/rim is heavy!! and Im not sure, but correct me if im wrong sedaners, you';re gonna be dealing with a bit of rubbing lest you roll those fenders, again.. confirmation guys? im gettin ready to sell my Volk GT-30 Phantoms and they're at least 9 pounds lighter/wheel. i heard from another member on the 37 forum that for every 10 lbs/wheel you add is an extra 40lbs to the car (ex. 190lbs total)... i.e. gas consumption varies dramatically. Just keep that in mind.

No doubt, patience is the key. Any advice on which websites to look at for wheels?
Ive tried wheelmax.com, tirerack, and ebay. Ebay has the best deals but not much info on the wheels. Ill keep looking

Those offsets will look pretty good on the sedan. I'm running 20x9 +25f and 20x10.5 +30r. Fronts only rub when I don't slow down for a dip, other than that every thing fits fine. As far as how much the wheels weigh, I'm still getting the same gas mileage and I'm sure Vossens aren't the lightest wheels.

Thanks man. They're a little more expensive than the rims you posted. Rims ran around $1400 and tires about $800. Overall, I'm really impressed with the rims.

what size, offset, etc.? $2900 is a steal.

Im looking to spend about $1200, on just the rims. I also found that that OCG racing is the same as Milano wheels based out of Cali. I read online that Vossens 082 in a 20" is about 28 lbs. So i guess most rims in that style will weigh above 25 lbs, and adding tires another 25+ lbs. How has the performance of the car changed with the Vossens?
