Ive always been a fan of these Advan T5's and would be the next set of rims i would of got on my car. There alot like the m45 rims but you can get them in 20's and wider plus their prob lighter. They make them in a bronze that i think would look sexy on alot of the G's.. Black, white, DP just to name a few.



Advan T5s would be amazing on a sedan, someone get them.

^ I second that vote: Enkei's, SSR's or Jline's. All lightweight and rarely done.

help ya out

I am a new b but i think i can be some help do to the line of work i am in. First of all like these guys have told you if you want volk, hre, bbs and such you better have a deeper pocket than 2gs. I work at a custom shop out of lexington, south carolina and our biggest thing is tires and wheels. I didn't have a whole bunch to spend when i got my 20s on my G and i came out (of course at our shops cost) at 1350 for 20inch Cativos on mine. 20x8.5f 20x9.5 rear. Nitto 555 are rapped all the way around. 245/35/20 front 275/30/20 in the rear high positive offset in the rear and "face" wheels in the front. If you want the volks and such with tires your looking at around $4000-$6000. Hope this will help ya out, and i will try to get some pics on here soon if someone will help me out with how to post them.

Man those Black on Chrome are just sick are those Sevas? Are Sevas light rims
or are they pretty heavy. I just dont want heavy rims on my car to weigh the car down. So I am looking at about 4-6k on some quality rims then? Good to know then I better start saving more LOL. First thing tho is clear corners is going to do my headlights just have to make an appointment. But thanks guys I appreciate the help I would buy you guys a shot of DON JULIO if I could.

One thing i did leave out, yes 4-6k on good quality rims, but hey, those Cativos I got will last 3 to 4 years minimum before chrome will start peeling and such, but to me that sounds like normal wear and tear and i think, guys correct me if I am wrong, but after two years of wearing the same shoes the feet are going to need some new ones anyway

yo ted those enkies are sick, i've never seen them before. My biggest concern is weight...how much do they weigh each? Also are you running 19x8.5 F and 19x9.5 +42 all the way around? I am really considering these now, i've been looking for lightweight 5 spoke design wheels for quite a while. Got any hook ups in socal?

I am looking to spend 2 grand maybe a little more.
Does that include the price of tires? you should look into used wheels if that is your budget

You won't need to roll your fenders (inner lip on the inside of the fender) if you get the right width and offset. See the "Sticky" at the top of this forum for info on rim widths/offsets
HREs are WAY more than that. In the $6K/set range. Most Volks range around $3K/set. Work are similar in price to Volk. Sevas are inexpensive. Those Kinesis have got to be $8K+.

Hey man one other thing i have not seen people post and say is the fact that the tires on the 19inch wheels cost way more than what those 20 inch tires are going to cost, just because there are fewer vehicles out there with 19s so the tires are in less demand in more rare which of course makes them more $. I originally was going to go with the 19s myself until i looked into long term and looked through the price of the tires. Also in the 20 inch wheels if your concerned about tires and the performance..... don't be. I see a lot of the guys on here running falkens and stuff, they are ok but why wouldn't you go with the bfg kdwII??? I plan to get those when i need to replace my tires and they are priced very very reasonable. A young guy at my work has them on his srt4 and they ride AMAZING and hook better than almost any all out street tire. ( not including street/drag radials ) I am very confident in that recommendation also. Guys, constructive criticism doesn't hurt my feelings, let me know what ya think. Hope this will help in your search. But as you have said you do have a lot of pot holes so your situation is some what different.

This is too easy. If your rich then find the most expensive brand. If your poor on a budget then find the cheapest brand your pocket can afford.
