56k warning, to funny. We should rally and have this disclaimer changed to '2G Warning' on all post across the internet.

I am not a fan of the rims on the 370, but they are nice.

It's all about what offsets your running and also tires sizes matter a lot!
I think 19's and even 20's look fine.

+1. Many of the 20 inch wheels, with proper tires on them even have smaller OD's than OEM, so they don't LOOK that big. You are just increasing height of the wheel, while decreasing the height of the tire, for a net awesome look.

except you are also adding an *** load of weight to the unsprung rotation weight of the car... This is a sports car where if I spend money on the wheels it will make them lighter as well

your exhaust hangs that low ?! In for rear shots to see this...thats odd

Not sure how worried you are about ride comfort but you need to drop that another 1"

Still looks great though, I almost pulled the trigger on GT-30s before I found my SFChallenges.

If I'm not mistaken, the GT30'S in 20's are the same weight if not lighter than his stock OE 18'S. I can't remember what the weight is on the 19 inch sport wheels. The 20x10.5 rear weighs 25lbs which is not bad for 20's.

BTW if anyone is looking for lightweight 20's, there's a couple of sets of the NEW VOLK RACING G2'S available in flat black and formula silver. 20x10 only weighs 21 lbs The 19 inch G2'S are right about 19 lbs
