I had factory replicas but I couldnt pull the weight specs from their site. No doubt they are close in weight to the factory wheels.

i thought PP wheels were like 34lbs.

my old 18s were 25lbs. I felt a small difference...but most of that is probably because I went from a 25.8" tall tire to a 27.5" tire lol

Thanks guys! This was my first mountain run on this setup. Must say...im pretty suprised by the amount of grip ive got. Car feels super stable. I guess thats the extra foot print working for me vs the shorter tires i had before. Also, for a cheap tire...these accelera phi tires grip pretty damn good. My brother has them on his bmw and really likes them...for the price, now i see why he likes them so much. I was getting a little rubbing on the left front during mid corner bumps..i was worried it was the fender, but ended up jist being the fender liner. I can live with that lol

I do feel its a little slower in straight line...nothing huge but maybe a couple tenths worth in the 1/4..which sucks...but...what can you do. I need a set of wheels for racing lol

Can the guys with the newer offset verify what spacer size is needed in the front? I️ just ordered these wheels for my black car. Love the way they look 20x10.5 offset 30 . For the rear I️ am going to run a 305/35/20 555r hopefully it will not rub.

Thanks

If you have the PP w/ brembos you will need a minimum 8mm (5/16) spacer to clear the front brakes. Not needed for rears. 305/35 will rub a bit depending on your ride height. I rub when hitting dips on the interstate but only minor in the wheel well and i have 285/30. 305 might have fender clearance issue as the min 8mm spacer will push you out. Im on coilovers so i can adjust. Wheel wells are coming out soon so that i can reshape where they rub. But again, its very slight. This is somewhat aggressive setup but i love it and minor mods are no big deal. Hope this helps

Can't believe how good such a classic design looks on the 550, if only spacers and poke weren't illegal in Australia !

Damn that sucks. There. Similar designs that with the right offset would look just as good im sure. Sve makes a simar design and cost is same range. BBS would be great but they are pricey

Working on these, they look similar just need to find out if they'll fit...

Look very similar indeed. Looks like they will be offering the 10.5" width soon it says with 5-25 mm offset. Look closely at the offsets if planning on a different width wheel. Shouldnt really matter however different manufacturers can vary slightly. Also ask if they will square off your setup and give you 10.5 all around. The description says the sale is for 4 wheels including fronts at 8" and rear at 10" width and it wont look like our setup, if thats the look you are going for. Just be careful bc sales reps can be pushy and yeah they might fit but not be that look you want.
