wheel weights
Hi All,
I found this site which lists a bunch of stock and aftermarket wheel weights and other specs. The stock 03-05 18" 350Z wheels weigh like 27 lbs, according to this
Here's the site... http://www.wheelspecs.com/specs/

This is why I selected Enkei RPF1's, 18x 8.5s /9.5's are just over 18 lbs. each, This is a signicant difference. It makes a real world difference in how the car drives.

Enkei is terrible about giving their weights. I have 18" G'Spec GTV's and have no idea how heavy they are. 
One place said 24lbs but I can't confirm that.

I think if you could save 10 lbs or even 8 lbs per wheel it would make a noticeable diff in everything...mpg, accel, susp wear, etc. The stock 17s are pretty heavy too. I wonder if tire weights vary much?? The Nismo wheels only weigh like 18 lbs...that's a good thing...would like to pick some of those up eventually...

the Le37 i think is one of the best when it comes to looks and weight! U get the best of both! I chose the SF Challenge rims over the le37s cause they look so damn sexy! The way i look at it, is that i take out the spare on the trunk and other heavy things! I also mod up more to make up for that weight added!

Does anyone know what the 18s from the G35 weigh, and if they are an easy swap on an '05 touring? If they weigh much less than the 27.5lb touring wheels then I think I'll try to swap them out! I can't quite stand driving the Z with such heavy wheels...
