I have a small dillema. I have a set of ls400 brakes that need to be installed on my gs, but at the moment my stock wheels will not allow for that. I found a set of 20'' ruff racing wheels for sale for $1300 with tires and im considering them as an option. Should I go with those or pick up a set of 19" g35 oem wheels and run those till I save up for some nice aggressive wheels. There is pros and cons to both

Pros of the 19's
-Forged
-lightweight
-made by rays
Cons of the 19's
-Only 8'' up front and 8.5'' in back

Pros of the 20's
-8.5 up front and 10'' wide in back
-Only $1300 with near new tires
Cons of the 20's
-Heavy
-Some say they crack easily
-Fairly big wheel can cause even worse gas mileage

any opinions??

Picts would help, especially the Ruff ones or even a link to the rim...

Not specific to the wheels you are looking at, but general thoughts on 19s vs 20s (and other similar topics should your thread go that way)

Well im real anxious to get the brakes on and some different wheels other than stock. I think im going to go with the 19"s for now and just save up for something real nice down the road. They are almost half the price and I think better quality than ruff wheels not to mention lighter and a well known brand. Ill post pics when and if I pick these up. Ill keep everyone posted.

dont do it! save your time and $$$!
oh well, up to you GL!

anxiousness is the root cause of the mod bug

As other have said before, wait till you can save more or wait till the right wheels come up. Wheels are a very big investment and to buy something that you just settle for can lead to regret. Also, you're going to take a loss on the previous wheel if you get your next set (that's if you can get rid of it). Lose lose situation IMO.

Heavy wheels don't matter when dealing with 300+ ft.lbs. of torque.

Don't settle for anything other than what you want. It feels better in the end. Get your own wheels, not someone else's.
