Need Help Finding Light Weight Rims

First of all, can anyone tell me the weight of each of our stock 19 rims?

Second, there are several rims I like, but they seem to still be heavy when compared to other truly light rims. I originally wanted 20s, but I'm willing to go with 19s to save on weight. Can I get some suggestions on some light rims for our G37's as well (if possible) as weight or rim.

Thanks.

Your answers are here: approx. 27lbs

Also I think one of the lightest wheels out there are Gram Lights but be prepared to drop $$$$ as they can get expensive.

I bought Forgestar from D2 because not only did they look good but they are about 22-24lbs each.

Do you plan on tracking the car?

If you're willing to go that far I say go for 18s..

Those don't look bad, wonder what they'll look like on a G37.

Nope, no plans of tracking the car at all, so 19 is the smallest I would like to go.

I really like Volks, but everyone and their mom has them. Which Volks did you have in mind?

Ehh, the TE37s I think? They're 6 spoke. You can get tons of different finishes so even if everyone and their mom has em you can still get an original look
