considering all those heavy pigs weigh over 30lbs each - I'd say none of the above...

Bah...I've seen 20x10 wheels that weigh over 50lbs...yet VERY FEW 20x10 wheels go under 25lbs. Sure these wheels can weigh 30lbs...but who cares? My car feels great with them installed and I didn't pay $5000 to save 5lbs.

he asked for opinions I gave mine...

I didn't tell you yours isn't valid...

Are you justifying your purchase or implying my opinion isn't valid?

He asked "which TSW's do you like ???"...not " should I get light wheels?". I don't mean to come off strong, but anyone serious about wheels weights shouldn't be looking at 20" wheels to begin with.

I told him which ones I like "none of the above"...

I'm always amazed by people that get offended by others opinions.

BTW, there are 20 that are much lighter... however, I feel 20 dont belong on this car. (no need to justify your reason for 20... I stated "I" dont feel they belong)

If it works for you, cool

It like asking, "what color hyundai genesis should I buy" and someone saying "Hyundai's are crap, don't get one". That's not exactly what he was asking.

If you want looks, get 19's or 20's..if you want performance, I see no point in going over 18's.

^^^ dude, why are you so concerned about my opinion?

Stop pissing in the guy's thread with all the nonsense. There is no reason for you to comment on my opinion in a thread that someone else is asking a question about.

BTW there are 19" that are lighter than most 18s...

99.7% of all g35 drivers could care less for weight, they more go for looks and size of the wheels

anyway back to the question from the OP,

i like the VAIRANO better because it gives the car a more cleaner look, what offsets are u planning to run? 35 and 45? or a little more aggressive?

I don't like spiderweb wheels.

I like clean fat spokes.

Split spoke does not look bad either but if I had to choose out of those three I would go with #1

I hate when people make dumb *** statistics that have no validity.

OP; I don't like any of them, if I HAD to pick one I'd pick #3. Why have you limited to TSW wheels? Why not look at other brands.

As far as TSWs go, what do you think of the Thruxton?

If someone was holding a gun to my head and told me I had to pick out a TSW wheels or else.....My choice would be one of the following:

Willow



Zolder 5



Nurbergring RF



I have a feeling the OP is buying on credit from a local wheel/tire retailer and that may be why he is limited to TSW...
