options and oppinions from anyone out there

so i've just about finished getting most of the performance mods i plan to get for now, and was looking into grabbing my g some new shoes. things i've been looking into are:
iforged fabulous
asanti af128
vossen
savani sv5
volk sf-winning
vossen vf-082
my main concern is the weight, because i'm not trying to get a set that's going to be much heavier. i'm not too familiar with rim brands and was wondering if any of you would have some knowlege about the weight types to these brands or these specific models. any input would be nice

I think the SF Winning would be the lightest from that group. About in the middle for price. Vossen is a recent favorite around here. especially for the money, but then you will look like everyone else

agreed here. I think you should get some SF Winning. They are the lightest and probably the strongest. the Vossen are becoming like the Gt30 and evveryone has em but they are a good price.

No doubt, the SF-Winnings. They have always been one of my favorites. I recently picked up a set of Volks, and I must say, everything about them is to notch. I have owned a set of iForged wheels and they will weigh about the same as the Volks, but the quality is crap compared to Volk (and they will probably cost just the same or more).

anyone know a not so far out ballpark range for a 20" rim+tire combo price on all 4? and iono why but i love the double 10 spoke but the volks just stood out too lol. running on a OB g, how woul the typical cliche black with chrome lip be? i have set my mind on making them black but if the lip is black too then it makes the tire look odd.

If your looking for light weight that actually strong enough and looks great here are my suggestions

VOLK RACING RE30, CE28, VR G2. They also have the TE37 but limited in fitment and colors. All mentioned are all monoblock forged wheels

here's some pictures of the RE30 AND G2:

https://www.myg37.com/forums/support...re-orders.html

example, G2 at 20x11 we have on our Z weighs only 22 lbs. RE30 LIMITED 19X10 weighs 19 lbs

YOKOHAMA ADVAN RACING RS, RZ. Monoblock Cast, priced lower than volks but proven on the track as super strong

RZ 19x10 which i have on my G weighs only 19lbs

If you need assistance on any of these, call me at the shop during business hours

Thanks,
Lou

I'd actually say no to the SF Winnings since they don't come in 20s. I guess I'm just a 20s fan.

ok so i went to rayswheels to check out the rest of the volk lineup, and at the bottom, there's a link to black fleet, which i've never heard of. any info known by anyone?

blackjack, i'm on the same page as u. ever since i got my G, i've been wanting to switch to 20's. No clue why, but the 19's just seem too small. i suppose that extra inch gives it quite the boost lol. the Mutsu is SEXY
