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.
Thanks for your advice..don't want my gas consumption to get that much worse! I doubt I will purchase these rims then

ave weight for a good performance/good quality rim is around 20 to 23 lbs or less obviously, IMO

I suggest you lurk the marketplace.. awesome deals always pop up, you just have to be patient. and most are selling with tires already mounted
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.
Beezy I just saw ur Vossens...those are hella nice! Good choice! Im doing research on vossen right now

whats your budget Rickochet? Im looking to gift my Volk GT-30 Phantom Edition w/ Falken 452's (only 500 miles on them) for $2900, flawless, no rash, no scratches, less than a month on. Let me know before i throw them up on the classifieds.

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.Originally Posted by Rickochet

i had vossen 082s. basically the same wheel. my offsets were 38f and 45r and i had no rubbing issues. my 370z rims now are 32f and 30r and they dont rub. youll be fine.

I was looking for GT30 phantoms for the longest time and i gave up and bought GT-F's. dammit!!

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?
