Opinion on these wheels

Looking for a cheap set of 20's for my black x sedan that will fit well and are on the super cheap but still look good, came across these and for some reason they reminded me a tad bit of gtr wheels, and the size/offset is just right. Any opinions on them? Be brutally honest, besides the fact they are cheap, are they good looking or ugly fellas?

Possibly I can't seem to find the weight of them anywhere, aren't all 20" cast wheels going to be heavier than stock wheels though? Even a brand like vossen or avant garde etc are heavy if they're cast 20's right?

My suggestions is to go with 19's. Still look great and most are noticeably lighter than 20's.

I understand this thought, and I have beaten myself back and forth about 19 vs 20, and looked at a lot of pics of sedans with both and with swift springs and coil overs, for some reason I can't dig the look of 19's with swifts, 20's look so much better with swift springs, if I could go a little lower with coil overs then 19's would be great, but I don't have the budget or proper roads for coil overs or going lower than swifts, any lower where I live would be a huge mistake.

Just out of curiosity, let's say a set of 20's weighs in at 40 lbs heavier than a set of 19's, 10 lbs per corner, is this significantly different than adding 40 lbs to the trunk of the car in terms of performance loss, is it different because it's rotational mass vs dead weight? How much performance loss is there in actuality from it, will I drive the car and feel like it's slower by the butt Dyno because of a heavier set of 20's?

I legit don't know the answer to this stuff, I know a lot about performance, I have had several turbo cars and made 500 whp, but I've never put a set of heavy 20's on anything haha

Rotational mass is HUGE! I'm not sure exactly but some say it equates to 1 lb. of Wheel Weight= 10 lbs Weight Reduction. So if your wheels are 40 pounds heavier then your car will feel 400 pounds heavier.

If they both had the same concavity or at least similar they would look better, and the angled spokes don't really look that great IMO. The front wheels are almost flat and the rears a heavy concave, probably look a bit funky.
For just a bit more I'd look at the Niche wheel lineup
