Light weight wheels

I was curious, what light weight wheels are out there for the 370. Light weight meaning less 20 lbs or is that asking too much?

There's a few but here's the 2 that i can remember

i have the YOKOHAMA ADVAN RZ. on my g37, 19x9 front 19x10.
19x10 weighs 19 lbs

Volk Racing re30 limited edition for 19x10 weighs 18.5 lbs. This applies to the CE28'S also.

Hope that helps. UNSRUNG WEIGHT FTW

Thanks! Do you have any pics of your wheels? I was looking at May's issue of Super Street and they featured Zele's 370Z. It had some gorgeous 20 inch TE-37's. I believe it said it was the generation 2 of the TE-37. I have to find out how much those weigh and if they are even available.

Are you a dealer for ADVAN RZ's? If so, care to PM me the pricing of the wheels in the stock 370Z sport wheel offset/sizes?

Do you think 19" Volks will be able to handle mid-sized pothole hits? Oakland has less-than-ideal streets...

potholes are only really a concern if you are driving w/ cheap cast wheels... unless you are driving it like you stole it over them.... forged wheels can take QUITE a beating....

Volk racing monoblocks are forged wheels and are very strong. They can take a beating like no other, but of course, if you hit something hard enough, concrete usually wins
