1750 is the starting price you could probably get him lower. Save up, buy the real deal.

Putting heavy cast wheels on a S-tune doesnt make sense....not very performance oriented.

I have a set of 18inch Volk GTC on her right now. I might just stick with them and just get them powder coated black. I hear that Volk wheels are very light weight anyways. I see what u mean tho. No point in getting heavy wheels.

Volk GT-C are not really light wheels either. Theyre light for what they are but not really a light weight racing wheel. None of the volk GT series are really great weight savers.

The forged single piece wheels are the weight savers. Go with Enkei if you really want a strong, light weight, cost effective wheel or buy a used set of LMGT4 for a little more and get the look you are going for.

I remember having my LMGT4's and they were like 19 lbs. for being 19x9.5

It would do good for you to research Cast (P45) and Forged (LMGT4) wheels and make your decision as to which one you want.

As others stated, Enkei RPF1's are always a nice choice.

Don't get bullied by the nutlovers, Rota is a great wheel. Not everyone has deep pockets. Also unlike what the nutlovers say, Rota wheels are in the 21 pound range. Lighter than stock, heavier than both Volk and Enkei , but not a heavy wheel.

Powdercoated wheels are really not a good idea. You're asking for a cracked rim.

Oh really now? I don't know if OP tracks his car or not, but even if he does is it going to make THAT big of a difference if he's just out on the track for fun?? Plus, if it's his daily driver then it shouldn't matter. OP don't listen to these brand ******, buy what's in your budget. It's your car, and your money. No need to spend money on aftermarket parts that's out of your budget to impress few brand ****** that you know through the internet.

Plus if OP curbs these, or damages these wheels... it's still going to cost less for him to replace, and not leave him almost suicidal he curbed his authentic real wheels....

yap yap yap

keep justifying how you sold out to the lowest priced knock off you could afford. And by afford i mean was below the credit limit of the new CC you just got.

Not a big difference on the track? Every pound counts, especially the ones on your wheels.

Thanks, I do go on the track in the spring - fall on the weekends. My last track car was my 03 Evo. I wouldnt mind having the Nismo wheels but iam saving up for a TT kit and i just moved out on my own. So with that being said right now im not taking out the money from my TT fund to get the Nismos
