Default What is Five Spoke 18x9.5 30+ and Bronze...

So was planing on getting wheel tires at the end of the year but my tires are just about toast and don't look like they'll survive till the end of the year.

Was planning on Gramlights 57f's with a custom offset but the price and the 2 month wait kinda throw me off. Was thinking of some Work emotions but just dunnom might look too busy. What else is out there that's bronze and fits the rest of the criteria? Preferably under 20lbs. And is there a better offset than 30mm that would fit all way around?

Sidenote, are super light weight wheels like the 57fs really going to help the Z that much? Yes rotational mass easier to accelerate and stop bla bla bla but since the Z is pretty portly already and has more torque than an S2000 or Rx8 at idle. Is it really a benifit worth 700 extra... Would a cast wheel from work or perhapse a 57c not be strong enough for track days? Remember seeing a cast enkei break 2 spokes, is strength really an issue?

Anywho thanks for any responses, got to get back to studying for exams.
West.

Eh forgot to mention, no nismos. Spokes are a bit too wide for my taste.

Thanks though.

Rota just released their P45F and P45R which is a 5 spoke 18x9.5 in the P45R model but the wheel runs a lower offset. Weight on the 18x9.5 is right at 21.4lbs and the 9.5 will be weighed once we recieve them in 1 week.

The problem is none of those are 18x9.5 +30 offsets, I'm looking to run 9.5 all the way around.

I am going work emotion CR, those are exactly what you are looking for except the 5 spoke thing. I would go +12 offsets all around though.
