I'm looking at the GS 450h at a local dealership and I have an option of the stock 18" alloys or the 18" G-Spider rims. Does anyone have specs on a comparison between the two in terms of weight and handling?

I like the look of the G-Spider but not at the expense of a lot of added weight.

Any other details would be helpful.

Thanks in advance!!!

i highly doubt weight would be an issue. i think both weigh pretty much the same. having mesh style face doesn't make the wheels heavier. i also think the wheels are of same width and offset as stock 18s? if so, then handling would be the same as well

imho look is what you should consider. if you want light weight and handling, aftermarket is the way to go

good luck

I actually like the standard split-spokes rims that come with the GS450h better than the G-spiders ...

The G spider wheels are actually a tad lighter than the '07 GS standard rims, I do not have any weight info for the hybrid rims though.

G spider:
Size: 18 x 8 inches
Offset: 45 mm
Weight 27.65 lbs

Standard GS wheel:
Size: 18 x 8 inches
Offset: 45 mm
Weight 29.65 lbs

If they let you keep the hybrid wheels and you want to sell, let me know

a lot of people are willing to take those hybrid rims off your hands, they are exclusive. keep them, much better than g spiders

I vote for the 5 spokes

Had the split spoke wheel from theGS 450h been available at a decent price I would have gotten them instead of the G-spiders. But they weren't so I didn't.
