also want to thank the guys over at Sonic Motorsports in Mountain View CA for helping research and select these wheels. Super easy to work with and patient with their customers

Congrats on the new wheels, post pics with them on.

will have to get the exact wheel weights for you, but in the mean time here are the same exact wheels but in a set of 20s (mine are same dimensions as stock so should be lighter)

Weight information (lbs)- HB 29

20x9.0 ET20


20x11 ET25

appreciate the comments, will post pics once we have the springs installed and wheels mounted next week

in the mean time they should look like this (the BMW looks like it has the regular brushed aluminum lip and the GTR I believe has the brushed tinted gunmetal similar to the set I ordered):

I am interested to see how the weight compares to a set of Jongbloed 3-piece wheels.
