well actually, the car wouldnt feel any different if you had 20s that were decently LIGHTER than the stock wheels, basically u want the weight across the 20" wheel to be distributed similarly to the 16" wheel.

unfortunately thats damn near impossible unless u have a VERY light tire to go along with your forged 20" rim.

do you plan on lowering your car? how low? do you want a conservative wheel fitment or aggressive? 18's can and do look very good if you're really low and you have an aggressive offset. 20's look good, but not as aggressive imo becuase you can't really get very low. i like 19's as a good compromise, you can still get low and you can have the look of a big wheel.

The problem is that good rims usually come in 18s or 20s .. Very few rims come in 19s comparatively! Its like the forgotten child! =(

Making 19's VERY unique


I'm a fan of unique things.

Anybody have the weight of the stock 16 inch 1995 LS400 wheels?

I have decided on 19s, and want to not go much heavier than the stock wheels.

Appreciate it.
