I definitely understand your argument....but I'm balling on a budget The wife and I will be trying to have a kid in the near future.

Honestly, I actually really love the look of these wheels. I like Forgestar's F14 more, but didn't want to wait 3 months (need tires now).

have you tried calling forgestar? sometimes they have a few in stock that might set. they are lightweight since they are flow formed

looked on ace website to find a technical sheet with no weight, if i was advertising light weight wheels I would post the weight if they were actually light but maybe thats just me.

if weight isnt an issue I say go for it. these are cheaper and actually look pretty good

saw a few staggered set on ebay for other cars right above 1k, guessing you can get it for our cars for the same price range

not sure why anyone cares what the weight is. not like everyone is tracking there car here 99% of you guys just daily drive your car so who cares if the rims weigh more than stock not like you are going to even notice. And like in my case I kept my stockies so that when i do go to a track i put those back on amazing idea huh?

i think you will like those rims they look really nice in the pic and like i said my friend has them on his G37 and they do look good in person

Wheels do look good. Reminds me of some avant garde ones. They are probably made out of cast and weight 25-30 lbs. Just a guess.

Get some pictures when you get them installed.

Said exactly what I considered. I'll never track my car and I use it just for DD purposes and "spirited driving". Thanks for the input!

Funny you say that. I actually inquired about the Avant Garde M310's before the Ace Alloy Mesh 7's, but they don't come in the right offsets for 20'' .

Wheels and Tires are ordered!

Really like the look of those wheels! That design is very popular, and for good reason!
