R32 GTR rims vs 300zxTT rims

since im searching for a pair of rims with enough offset to clear z32 caliper, put wide tire and have OEM durability yet at a cheap price, im debating about those two rims. I can get a pair of skyline R32 gtr rims for 700$ and they're forged and really light(16lbs). the only downside is since they're 16x8 against tt rims which are 16x8.5. so i guess theres no 245's with them. the other downfall is also the fact that 300zxtt rims are so much cheaper, which will leave me more money for better tire. but they weight around 20pounds each=/.

So basicly its 700$ for 16lbs, 16x8, with 225/50/16 size tires??? or
400-500$ for 20lbs, 16x8.5 with 245/45r16.

Actaully Z32TT rims are 16*7.5 front and 16*8.5 rear. If you want to run the wider ones all around you'll have to find two sets (like I did). I paid under $400 total for both sets. If you look around and are patient you can find great deals.

you can fit a 245 wide tire on 16x8, no problem.

Personally, I think the Skyline rims look better (and lighter), but if money is your biggest factor, get the Z rims.

I say go for the r32 wheels. $300 for a 4lb dfference on each wheel isn't bad at all
