I know ive seen it somewhere, but cant find it - how much lighter is the front 19x10.5 wheel vs. 19x11. Probably not much? so 31ish vs. 33lbs, if even that much of a difference?

It might be a crazy consideration - but if considering going to a 19x11 square setup - maybe just get 2 19x11 stock spares and run them in the front with 30mm spacers (62-30 = 32mm offset vs. stock 30mm) with 305/35s....

I know its not lightweight, but they are sturdy, built/specced for the GT350 and at least used should have a decent price...

There are some really awesome choices now on the market

Forgeline GA1R or VX1R
HRE
Forgestar CF5
Vosteiner Sport Forged series ( under 4k for a full set)
BC Forged

Just to name a few options.

Yup - I do agree with you Paul. However - at least for me personally - most of those dont meet my combination of gorgeous, yet different enough from stock GT350 or GT350R, but at a price point im willing to pay for wheels.

just my opinion...:cheers:

The only ones that really intrigue me sofar are the Vorsteiner, and they tick of most of the boxes - including TUEV certification at some point...

Thats where my thought comes in - with 2 rear stock 19x11s with spacers I could test a square 305/35 setup without breaking the bank (probably) - but its just an idea.. :headbonk:
