Regardless, they're very attractive without being too blingy. Your car looks great with them on and dropped on swifts.

As a side note: Most multi-piece forged wheels are actually pretty heavy - almost always heavier than a rotary forged wheel. Quality monoblock wheels will usually only save you a couple pounds when compared to a rotary forged wheel (sometimes 1lb or less) but will typically add another $500-$700 per wheel to your bill.

Disclaimer: While I feel my statements are based upon facts, I feel obligated to state I use rotary forged wheels as well. lol
The tsw weigh 23 in the front and 24.7 in the back and the niche wheels weigh 30lbs. but didn't mean to sound a sense of cocky in my last post their both nice looking wheels..was originally going to go vossen vfs1 but wanted to be different with the tsw's

Wow, love how the Bathurst look on the G37!
One of my favorite new wheels for 2015, they're light, strong, and priced well!

Heres some nice shots of the Silver Mirror Cut finish we had a chance to snap:

The 20" Bathurst were sold out for about 2 months, but the new shipment is arriving any day now so let me know if anyone is interested in a set!
