Just curious about people's opinions of this wheel setup on a black sedan. I'm thinking of buying these, but I'm not sure how I feel about them. They are forged and would probably weigh in at 22-24lbs at 19x10 with a step lip. Front lip would be 2.5", rear would be 3.5". The design isn't my favorite, but I'd like to get some lightweight wheels. My existing Vossens weigh 62lbs with tires!!!

New Potential Setup


P'Shop Adjusted for 19?


Existing Setup

They look good, but sometimes wheels look better photoshopped because they look larger. The pic you have they don't look 19, they look more lik 21 so they look badass, but at 19 they might look boring. Also I'd be interested in possibly buying your vossens if the price is low enough...

pg37

Yeah, when I look at me existing 20's the photoshopped version definitely looks bigger. [Fixed] Not sure how I feel about a 2.5" step lip up front.

I had these Vossen's on my coupe and thought they looked pretty good. On my sedan they suddenly looked kind of badass. I've gotten tons of compliments on how nice they look on a black sedan. If they weighed 10lbs less per wheel I'd totally keep them.

IMO you answered your own question when you said the design isn't my favorite. There are plenty of light weight wheels options.

By the way... nice picture

pg37

Well, it's not my favorite, but that doesn't mean I don't like them. So far I haven't found anything that is 19" that is that light that looks as good as these 22lbs for a 19"x10 is pretty damn good. I do like these wheels, but there are others from this same company that I like a lot more, but I'd have to give up some weight savings to get them.

I was thinking of going WEDS SA-67 or SA-55, but I don't like the Enkei RPF style wheels. If I wasn't concerned looks I'd just get the Enkeis.

The 67r is pretty close to the face design of your photoshop but obviously no lip and definitely falls in your weight range you are talk about with 19's. No volk or gram lights that interest you?

pg37

I haven't seen any gram lights that I like. I like Volk GT-30s but that's about it. I couldn't find an accurate weight for GT-30s at 19 or 20 inches.

Yup. There are SO many options when it comes to wheels, you just have to take your time, do your research and find the wheel you really want.

I speak from experience, sir. Take. Your. Time. Otherwise you'll be on your third set of wheels in less than 2 years, and selling the older sets can be a hassle.

I like the gunmetal centers. In comparison, the wheels you have now are rather bright.

However, those new rims are very busy, like they're trying too hard. Too much bling for a wheel, IMO. Personally, I like a simple design.

These aren't cheap but the possibilities are just limited to your imagination.
Just ordered some from their Bavaria line (the heavier, lower cost line) but the custom Nuteks are top-shelf. Member 1cleanG can give you the hookup

the front brakes arent that deep in like in the photoshopped picture. :X

Not feeling those... maybe it's the photoshop but I'd pass. Advan RZ-DF should fit the bill for lightweight wheels.

Not feeling them either. But in my opinion I've never been a fan of the large gap between spokes style. To each their own though, but like MACS said, take your time and make sure they are exactly what YOU want.

Personally, I'm trying to find some LFA style rims in gun metal that aren't $650+ a piece.

^ This. You have blackout all the other chrome on your car. Why would you now want to go with gaudy over-the-top chrome wheels? Just askin'.

pg37

No, my car is the one with the Vossens. The other car is a P'shop that the wheel company provided as a quick mockup of what the wheels would look like. I still have my chrome.
