If I were going Fi, I'd be looking at some ultralight and still great looking wheels such as Enkei RPF1s. They look great and weigh in at around 20Lbs each.

The Forgestar wheels look MUCH better... While I like Vossen wheels, the CV3 just does not work for me - too much open space. The F10, on the other hand, looks awesome. I saw a gold & silver set of 20's for sale here on the forum, which look great on OB. (If they were gunmetal I'd have bought them!)

I think you should go with the Forgestar F10's as well. They just look so clean on the OB. Color is totally your preference though. I personally think the gold is a bit out of style and a bit of bling attempt. Not knocking those running with them because they look nice on the OB, I just think you need to be select with them. Otherwise they could get overdone.

I'm also not a big fan of the stepped rim. Not sure what the steps are for. I like the clean simple spokes down to a single rim edge who's only purpose is to mount the tire to. The stepped lip doesn't seem to have much purpose to it except mounting through bolts/studs to in some cases.

As pity says, keep saving up and your options become seriously more difficult. Lighter in weight is very preferable and then you have the issue of keeping them clean. I've seen some sick wheels that look great, but OMG what a PIA to clean! Raul's CV3's = easy. F10's = not as easy.

Good luck with your decision.

I absolutely love the RPF1's, but they don't come in 20's

Very nice.

Now that's hot! I'll be going silver if I do it though.

Thanks Screamer. You managed to list all the things that I'm thinking about. I'd love to save weight, but I'd also like a wheel that's easy to clean. The 2011 wheels are a NIGHTMARE to keep clean! The stepped lip looks pretty good with the G's lines, even better than the LM's I had on my 335 coupe previously. I just don't like that the stepped lip makes the wheels look smaller than they are. I also want to be original. If I were balling out of control then I'd just get both, but my fiance would rip my head off lol. This is what happens when the modding bug bites!!

Sick ride Kidcane, that's a good look! I'm so glad I got OB this time around!! Also gives me another good look at how it will be on my OB compared to the CV3's. I'm really digging these F10's.

Too bad. GTC-03s are available in 20" and look great, but I think that those are heavier. I also love Iconz wheels, and they are all available in 20s, but they don't specify the weight...arrrghhh.

From what I've seen so far as an owner of my first g, the g37 crowd is in love with Vossen and now Forgestar...... There are different companies out there people. Might want to look at other brands like IForged(company that owns Forgestar), DPE, HRE, VIP Modular, Rotiform(personally one of my fav new companies)....... Yes they cost more than what you listed, but usually 3 piece wheels made to your specs are.

Yeah bro, I was looking at HRE and IForged as well, but I wanted to spend $3K max because I'm also going FI. If I were just doing intake and exhaust then I'd be looking at 3-piece wheels for sure!
