if you are willing to shout out 5g+ for Volk 20s, then they will be even lighter the stock rims. but if u want cheap 20s then they will be very very heavy, and yes you can feel the weight when accelerating

My 20s weigh about a pound heavier than the stock 17s, but the wider tires weigh more, haven't noticed any significant decrease in acceleration but am getting about .5 to 1mpg less. It's a great tradeoff since the car is definately more connected to the road and it's got a much sportier feel IMO. So absolutely NO regrets. The absolute crap Goodyear RS-As also play a part in my jubilance going to new wheels/tires Can't believe Infinit puts Camry tires on a 328hp sport sedan

If it's me, i wouldn't be willing to buy rims that are heavy, i really do use the performance of my G, things to slow it down and decrease handling is just not ok.

I don't think I'd want 20s that weigh much more than the stockers, I think more than a couple pounds per wheel and you'll really notice the difference, especially if your tires are going to be wider as well. Keeping them under 27 pounds each would be something to shoot for IMO.

^+1, 27 pounds is a good number, the G37S coupe stock 19inch are around 27

I have 20's and i love them. They are very wide 9.5 in the front and 10.5 in the rear. They are sooo heavy i don't even care anymore. I love they way they look.
