Robert- I've gotta say that wheels are a very personal choice. Having said that, I have three little letters for you: B-B-S!

Whatever you do, decide on what you really want and then check the classifieds here. The right deal will come up to own the set of your dreams if you know what you want and the right price to pay...

David: I do like the BBS RS-GT but damn on price!!! $3k for the wheels alone. And I'd like to have an 18x10 in the rear.

Cost is a factor when you're talking about a 2-piece forged wheel in the RS-GTs (too expensive for my blood). That's why I'd keep an eye out for a nice used set. It's the way I purchased my set of diamond black RG-Rs at a significant savings.

Man, those are all good choices. I would probably roll with the Emotions, LMGT4s, or the RGs out of that selection. I would find the size I wanted and then try to find a balance of weight and price that suits you. I think you're on the right track with bronze or gunmetal on an SB. Those would be my choices.

That's true, aside from the LMGT4s its the only forged monoblock out of the bunch, I think. Although, some of the cast Advans are almost as light.

Light weight is my #1 priority for rims. My rims weigh 13.8 front and 14.2 rear

They are all decent choices, but I still like the 57f, and it's going to have the best resale value.

Yeah, I saw the weights on another thread you posted. That is tight. How much does all your stereo equipment weigh, though?

In any event, its better to lose weight off your wheels than it is from the trunk.

I just can't bring myself to spend $2500-$4000 for wheels & tires.

Work CR in gunmetal. Dont think they make the GTS in bronze either. Than throw some huge meat out back! I love the GTS but something about the wheel opening without a BBK looks slightly off to me..

True, good wheels cost a grip, but it's really satisfying to see a nice set of wheels on your ride.

My vote was for the RCII. I just wish Advan made more wheels in 19"s sizes and offsets for the Z. I think the Weds SA90 would look great and is a different look.
