Default Giovanni Rims

Been looking for the right rim for a few months now and im just looking to get your thoughts or opinions on these rims. The setup would be 20x8.5 and 10 offsets still unknown. These would be goin on a PW. I use to have volks gt-c on my previous Z and i dont think i will be spending that amount on rims again. Any and all input is welcome.

These only come in 8.5 and 10? I'm digging the matte black if they came a bit wider

Giovanna wheels are low quality and very heavy, I think there is a reason why I can't recally anyone with a set.

If you want something similar I would suggest a nice set of SSR MS1's or SSR Type-F's or if that is out of your price range a set of Forgestar F14's have a similar look

I was looking at the f14s, the vossen vvs083 and the mmr gt1 but they didnt have the look i was going for, the vossens- too much bling, the mmr didnt have a mirror lip with the hyper silver. These wheels are 2 piece cast but they have the mirror lip and they are also concave. Im not looking for super light rims like my volks. Thnx for the heads up bout their quality, Waizzz. I also saw they offer a forged line up.

I'm not a fan of Vossen at all, their styles are very bland.

I honestly would say the F14's or Enkei RPF1's but that's just me

That's probably BS

I would bet it's more like 28lbs per wheel
