i cant decide on going 19" tsw thruxtons or 18" enkei NTO3+M...
TSW: http://www.discounttiredirect.com/di...4.3&vid=007921
Enkei: http://www.enkei.com/jpeg%20files/Wheels/NT03M(18.jpg
theyre about the same price... but im not too sure about tire prices... do the 18" make a noticeable gain in acceleration? or are the TSWs weight close though to stock 17" (23lbs front, 24lbs rear) to keep the acceleration stock? people who have had 18s and then 19s or vice versa let me know please! planning to get the enkei's fairly soon.. but just saw a black z with a NICE lip.. it got me having second thoughs. oh yeah, i was planning to get my Enkei's painted black with a lip also.. does anybody know if the 18x10.5 version has a pretty good lip? thanks all!

 

or how about these: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...spagename=WDVW

 

you will def feel faster with the 18". i want to get a second set of rims and its between nt03 or the track wheels. go for the 18" nt03 really nice.

 

I would go with the 18s becuase they are lighter. Ligter is a good thing.

 

does anybody know how light the TSW 18" are?? 8.5 and 9.5... maybe the guys from discount tire know?



also, is there a difference between 5x114.3 and 5x114? i found some rims but they say 5x114 and not 5x114.3

 

I don't think those Enkei's would look very good on the Z. The thruxtons are pretty hot though, they should look pretty decent on a black Z.

 

thruxtons are heavy and from what i hear will bend easily. nto3 are on jason from performance car. check his out it looks nice. plus nto3 are meant for performance. IMO thruxtons are

here's jason car with nt03

 

hmm ive been looking at that picture... and i think they do look great, but i havent seen them in person, and when i saw them on other cars, the look different... so i guess i'll stick with these if they look good in person... anybody have ideas on other light weight 18s with a lip? i think i saw some gram lights... anybody know?
or... does anybody know about a good price on nismo wheels

 

My vote, not my car, but the wheels come with a +20 offset. The stance on the car is sick!

They are the Ruff 279, the ebay item you have above.

 

te37, ce28, le28, nismo lmgt4, work meister s1, super advan sa3r, hasemi proto s

 

does the nismo have a lip with it? anybody have pictures close up with it?

 

not really if you want lip and 18" then go with the work meister. my current rims are 19" volk gt-av with a 4" lip in the rear




my old rims gram lights 57fpro had a 3" lip in the rear

 

those new wheels are sick, You got me wheel shopping now.

 

my wheels are for sale

 

which ones are for sale???

 

Look at these..Enkei's RPO3..no lip but look at the stance..Im going with the 9 x 19 F and 10 x 19 R..I love this wheels..and I think it was Performance Nissan quoted me a price of $1600 shipped..

 

also, what body kit do you have on currently?

 

what look are you going for? The NT03+M is a very rare, race looking wheel that IMHO looks awesome on a car with the right "look". They are also heaps lighter than the TSW. The Enkei has some neat features, like dual valvestems (nitrogen vs air) Pretty hard core stuff

The TSW are more of a stylish looking wheel

 

so i have decided to stick with 19"s... only because im really into looks and i dont wanna regret seeing those huge gaps in the fenders with 18s.. so now i have some questions. nismo33, have you experienced slower acceleration with your 19's? what is your set up? tire size, rim size, etc. if anybody has some input feel free to add... im looking at these right now: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/e...sspagename=WDVW

 

Z1..nitrogen vs. air? Ive never heard of this..what are the benefits of nitrogen and is nitrogen used primarily on the tracks..please enlighten me because im am totally ignorant about this fact..thanks for the help..
