What do you think are the GT-N's weight. Is it a heavy rim or does it stick with the Volks traditional liteweight design?

they are considered "light" compared to other/cheaper 3 piece design wheels with a lip, but heavier than rays and SSR light wt wheels

I think the average weight for 18 inch GT-Ns are about 22-23 lbs. My friend has a set and that's what he told me.

Gunmetal rims with the stainless lip is the way to go! Subtle but effective. Jheeesss!

I'm thinking about buying the same wheels in 17" gold. Do you think they'll look that good? I have my reasons for wanting to stick with my 17's opposed to going up to 18's. Washington DC is the land of pot holes and the performance of the 17's on the track seem a tad better to me. I'll take any input. Thanks.

they are 2, not 3-piece. for the longest time, i was the only one on this site with gt-ns. oh well. m3 (why does he have that username if he has a z?) obviously has good taste but yes, wheel caps are needed.

Are those the 17's?!?! WOW! They look outstanding! Even better cuz my Z is the same color.

I guess it's a good thing I live on the East coast.

sorry bro, they're 18x9, 18x10, and my z's not dropped, but ya, you live far enough away. you can get some.

ps: get the 18s. they're not much slower, and the z's huge wheel wells just swallow up 17s, imo.
