So what? Rims are for looks, not performance. Take out your spare that 20-30pds. I used to have ADR Stirlings on my G35, they were actually lighter than the stock 18's, take a look at those.

well i think its better to buy used forged rims that are only like a lil bit more expensive than the cheap reps.
i dont mean tat all the cheaper rims are bad, just sport max and ADRs are pretty bad.
