Yeah, they're going to be exactly like the pic. Asanti's came out with some really hott wheels this year and I was the first to order this style in my area. Can't wait to install them on my diamond graphite G.

I've had like 6 sets of wheels on my car. What it really boils down to is what I call your show-to-go ratio. If you are seriously tracking your car stick with 18's, but if you want to make your car really hit the best potential get a 20" set of wheels but a lighter set that are not chrome and not heavy. I upgraded to a set of 20" R1 Hype's and they are 5-spoke and light. I also did a photo shoot with some new 19" R1 Grip's so you can see the difference in size. These cars have plenty of torque and a bigger set of wheels will not affect the car like a civic. Here is my car with both 19" and 20" and you tell me what you think...

19" R1 Racing Grip: 19x8.5 Front / 19x9.5 Rear



20" R1 Racing Hype: 20x8.5 Front / 20x10 Rear

The 20"s look good, but did you say you noticed a decrease in acceleration? Wasn't sure what you meant. I'm not trying to race or track my G, but I like the way it drives now.

The 20's aren't for everyone. The 19's will be fine. Please post pics when you get the wheels I am pumped to see the final product. What size and brand wheels and tires did you get?

Btw, the tire affects the ride too. I used to have mich pilot sports and those wheels are stiff like wood...DOMO
