Thanks guys! I think I like these. They are 27lbs. And I can paint the insert a shiny black to match the exterior b-pillar. It's a 19x9.5

Only thing about tirerack is I don't know if it weighs that much with the tires or if it's just the rim weight they are displaying.?

 

thats gonna be just for the wheel. OEM with tire (non forged, non nismo or track) will run about 50-ish lbs on 18s. These would put you about within 4-5 lbs of stock. You might notice that alittle (if at all), but probably not enough to worry about.

take out the spaces, this forum kills other Z domain links

you'll probably want at least 10-15mm spacers on those. I think Adam, Brad or Steve would recommend 15 and 20mm spacers on those.

Thanks for link. But why don't I just go with a lower offset? Is there a need for spacers when going aftermarket? I didn't think there would be but I am new.

 

I didnt see that wheel offered in a fitment under 35. ASA's fitment guide doesnt have the AR9 listed yet, so i couldnt see if lower offsets were offered. Generally tho, Tireracks suggests horrible offsets, even when they sell +20 to +25

I would encourage you to find it in a lower offset. No need to add that cost of spacers if you dont have to.

 

Ah! Good, I thought so. I finally got something right. Thanks. I assumed for the rears I'll go with a 20 offset (or try to) and the fronts with a 25 (or try to)

 

OMFG this chit is epic HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Ah, good find, but I'm looking for a 5 spoke set up....

 

 

So, what's peoples opinions on Piaa wheels? (Whom I had no idea actually made wheels)


They don't weigh as much as they look. The 19's are actually lighter then the stock 18's I have on my ride now.

 

as I recall, they are very high quality and many are forged, or partially forged (hence the lightweight). They've been out for awhile, you shouldnt have any trouble finding a good deal.

 

Stern's look just like them and are way cheap.
