The weight is not a big issue for you right. In my BMW car has a different kind of wheels and expensive too.

All clearly rationalizations, sure. I admit that freely.
But to your question... no, the weight isn't an issue.

It's been 3 to 4 months with the VOSSENS, and now that I'm settled in with the new normal, I'm very pleased overall. Granted, the deep inner lip is a PITA to keep clean, and the recessed valve stems are a PITA to reach easily... but those are minor points. The wheels themselves are gorgeous. Love 'em.
As for the wider tires, PSS all around with 10" rears, that's a big change, too. The car lunges out of the hole very aggressively when I try to launch it. And familiar sweeping ramps can be taken at a noticeably higher speed. Tires, tire width, lowered, neg-camber, sways... it all came together quite nicely. Not at all a sports car, but one hell of a respectable sport sedan. And even more so now.

John, that's a fresh pic right??
Car seems like it's settled a bit from earlier photos or maybe it's just the photo
At any rate, that Swift drop seems to be a bit lower than some other Gs I've seen w/ Swifts, and w/ those wheels it just looks perfect.
Do you happen to know how how high you are from the ground to the upper fender arc? Looks like about 26.5" give or take.
BTW, have you mastered the driveway incline??
