2Crave wheels

I'm about to put a set of 2Crave N54 gloss black/red wheels on my 2010. Does anyone have an opinion of these wheels?

Did you accounted for unsprung weight?

Have you checked the weight of these wheels vs. the weight of the wheels these ones are intended to replace?

Just a recommendation.

Wheels are the first and foremost source of unsprung weight.

Unsprung weight gains (or reductions) dramatically affect vehicle dynamics: acceleration, stopping performance, speed of direction changes & lane changing stability.

I personally never ever go for heavier wheel+tire combos, unless the car has been previously lowered, the weight penalty is marginal and there is a substantial increase in tire contact patch with reduced rolling resistance.

Then again, I'm with the go fast crowd.

If your thing is looks and appearance above all, then disregard my previous comments as they are not a significant consideration for your purposes.

Have safe driving, Merry Holidays and Happy Trails!!!

This is strictly a cosmetic upgrade. I'm not looking for a performance upgrade. I'm just trying to see if there is a consensus on the quality of the 2Crave product.

Ok., got you.

Cosmetically they look great. Unfortunately, I can't offer any experience based insight.

Hope you get good info before decision making time.

All the best.
