Really depends on how much you are trying to spend. Personally, I am into more "custom" wheels like HRE, iForged, DPE, etc. However, Volk and Work are both very popular wheels amongst G owners.

I always thought Volk GT-S look hot on a G, especially in the black finish they have.

you can look around in the picture share section and see so many different types of wheel setups...

you're better off doing that than asking what type of wheels there are, unless you are only going by our suggestions, which is like letting us choose your wheels for you...

MRR's are definitely not lightweight wheels by any means. Any cast one-piece wheel is going to be heavy.

Check the Marketplace for some great deals on rims. Often members have used ones for good prices.

Lightweight and 20" are two things that don't go together in any kind of wheel...

You may also want to try something like I did - have less expensive or more "common" wheels painted a particular color - that way you'll have a more unique look and still keep your costs reasonable.
