New wheels......either upgrade or ................
What you listed are basically junk wheels compared to the factory wheels.
Unless you're willing to spend the cash for wheels that are "Better" than
OEM wheels don't bother, this is called an upgrade! Save your $ until you
can afford and upgrade like IForged.....HRE's or Volks. Spending your $
on the wheels you listed is a major waste.......your G came with very good
wheels.......understand?

+1 I've been telling people this over and over....Although I'm not a big fan of Iforged I rather have DPE, HRE, Volk, Rays, Racing Harts, Etc.
If you get them for FREE why not get 2 sets and sell them so you can use the money and get some "free" DPE or HRE ?
Here is a response from me on another thread about cheap wheels.

Wheels granted are to make the car look good, but also serve another purpose besides looks. Cheap wheels = lower quality and heavier.
Many manufacturers use the same production method but take stronger and/or thicker materials to increase load capacity which is the difference between off-brand and brand named.
Like I said many cheaper wheels are heavy so it's lack of performance, BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY a lighter wheel (which are usually the brand name ones) will accelerate faster and stop quicker as well as reducing load on shocks and steering linkages.
The steering linkages will wear faster too.The heavier a wheel/tire combo the more energy is needed. Similar for shock absorbers. If you have a heavy wheel they will take a beating.
So aim for the lowest possible weight.
Save money, get a decent brand multi piece forged wheel so you have something that is strong and light. (DPE, HRE, Volk, Work, Rays, im sure you are familiar with all the brands), shop around, compare prices, and get something good not cheap. It will hurt in the long run.
