I wasn't interested in the "VIP" look and I definitely wasn't interested in having four 70-pound chrome boat anchors on my car which would deterioriate ride, handling and general performance of the car, plus I love some of the Volk wheels. Soooo, I went with the setup below. The 1" taller staggered 19s are actually lighter than the smaller factory 17s. I've had a few performance car guys (people I hang around with when I'm out in my 900 HP Supra) inquiring about getting an LS and going with wheels like these, so at least SOME people like 'em.

LOL Depends upon the definition of "that much." Lightweight 19s tend to be from 4-8# lighter than most chrome 19s, and as much as 25# lighter than some 20s (such as Giovannas). I can only imagine how 25 additional pounds at each wheel would murder the on-the-road dynamics of a car.
