Damn, I was hoping they would be Noble Gold. I'm going crazy. Almost 3 months wait so far.

Is there any way you can confirm this? Did you weigh them (without the tires)? Axis says the Hiros are supposed to be around 25lb. and the SF Challenges are supposed to be around 25lb. If there really is a difference, someone is lying, and I would like to know who it is.

BTW, those look awesome on your G.

i havent weighed them, but trust me, just by picking them up, i can notice the difference. the volks are also wider.

I totally disagree. Your rims look great. Gold rims look great on white and black like mine. Challenge rims were one of my top choices. Would like to see more pics. heres my black z with gold rims

Those wheels look to good to be on a car getting dirty. They should be displayed in a glass case.

If your going with gold wheels, don't ya have to swap out all the emblems, door handles, etc for gold as well?

Looks odd with gold wheels & silver trim stuff, imo.

Hell no, if you overdo it like that it ends up looking tacky.

i think gold looks great on white...nice wheels...congrats

maybe the adrenaline rush from getting those new rims is throwing off your senses from guessing the weight....

i agree, dont want to overdo it. the factory gold colors are pretty ugly too. maybe a custom volk gold might look alright...
