So I've had my '13 G for just over a month now. (Almost to the day)
My new rollers and rubbers just arrived from Car-iD

Excellent experience shopping with them. The really took the hassle out of it and the salesman was really helpful.


The tires arrived on the quoted day and the packaging was Operator.




The kit looks sharp and the TMPS were labeled, as well as which corner each wheel was destined to go.





The new wheels are 20" as compared to the stock sports at 19" all told 4lbs heavier for each corner.


Hankook Ventus V12 Evo on KMC Rockstar 20"x8 wheels 54.2lbs each
245/35ZR20

Continental Extreme Contact DWS06 on stock 19"x8.5 Sport wheels 50lbs each
225/45/R19




Despite the picture, the new Hankooks V12s should be slightly wider than the Conti DWS-06s06s




They look sharp, I'll eventually drop the ride an inch or or two.






Plenty of clearance on my Akebono brakes, at least as much as the stock wheels have.



They face up to the wheel well nice and flush too.

Props to CID for getting it all good.

Yes indeed. Conti Extreme Contact DWS-06 and AWD for the snow.
Fingers crossed.

sorry to say but those wheels look hideous... I think the stock wheels look better than them.

Great crowd here. I can feel the stoke.

I'm liking them quite a lot.
Hope it doesn't spoil your meal.

C'mon dude, is that really necessary?

We all have our own styles and opinions.

If OP likes them and they make him happy, then wonderful.

Congrats on the new wheels Bikezilla.

Ha!
Then now would probably be a good time to put me on your ignore list.

My next upgrade is a purple-ano grill with green backlighting.

got to say never seen those wheels on a G before but I think I usually see them on pick up trucks.

It's a good thing I have AWD.
Maybe I'll remove my trunk lid and hang some truck nuts from the hitch I installed.
Yee Hawh!😜

KMC Rockstar, at 32.6 pounds for 20"x8", so assuming these are 9" or wider... yikes!

I think after a while, you'll get this out of your system and start looking for something else.

I think if the OP likes his choice in wheels and is happy w/ them that should be good enough. I realize they're quite different from the norm but try to keep the comment light-hearted folks.

I see you're still struggling to find a tangible reason to hate these wheels and convince me to feel like you do, but your info (or your reading) is faulty.

"Regarding the weight change:

KMC Rockstar 20" x8 wheel w/Hankook Ventus V12 Evo 245/35ZR20
54.2lbs wheel and tire

Stock Inf Sport 19x8.5 w/ Continental Extreme Contact DWS06
245/45ZR19
50.0lbs wheel and tire.

Differential 4.2lbs per corner.
+16.8 lbs total extra pound for moving up to 20" wheels and tires."



Now before you continue to pontificate how these boat anchors are going to turn my car into a prelude, consider Car & Driver's test:




so for a smaller lighter weaker car +3 lbs per wheel had the tragic detrimental effect:
0s change in 0-60
+.1s in 0-100
0s change in Qtr mile
and -0.8mpg

OMG I should just WALK!:roll eyes:
