Default #582 got some new shoes

I finally got my new wheels on the Nismo. My calculations thanks to "davidv" I dropped 16.5lbs of unsprung weight

19x9.5 ET22mm - 5x114.3 - (Weighs 23.15 lbs)
19x10.5 ET22mm - 5x114.3 - (Weighs 24.6 lbs)

Where to get them. ModBargains Sportline wheels

Just talk to Frank over there he is very helpful. I ordered them on a Monday and had them by Friday which is just crazy west coast to New England. Couldn't ask for better customer service.

I wasn't sure about all black wheels but I think it looks pretty sexy. Let me know what you think.









Yes I know they aren't Volks and I know they are replicas.

Coils going in tomorrow. Next is exhaust hopefully before Zdayz.

Paid right around $2k with tires and and all that fun jazz. Hankook V12's. Franks@modbargains got a special going on too not sure what the pricing is but they are some great wheels imo.

No offense but I hate GTS's. I never see used TE37's for less the $3,000 with tires. Usually no shipping too.

Looks good

... though I'm pretty confident you did your rotational mass savings calculation incorrectly.

Rears are about 5 lbs lighter than the stockers each while your fronts are about 1.5lbs heavier, each. I calculated your savings at 6.9lbs total... but then again, I dont know if you weighed tires along with it.

None taken, different strokes for different folks.

I was just trying to point out that Volks can be had for a relatively cheep in the marketplace without being the typical "fake wheels burn in hell" guy.

The wheels do look good on your car BTW
