tirerack has them, they are like 27-28lbs each though...

I like the way they look, but they are heavy.

Would those size Motegi Touge fit alright on the Z? And if so, what tire sizes you planning on going with because I'm getting those Touge rims too.

ebay has them for VERY cheap, i strongly considered getting them but then i saw the weight and just couldnt justify it. i have the track wheels and id rather dish out 300 to get them widened to 11 in the rear than have these which would slow me down so much id cry but they are beeeaauuutiful, if i didnt care so much about speed id get them in a heartbeat

I work at tire rack, I have sold a few sets, but most people aren't drifting and want light weight to go faster.

They Are Fine I Have A Set On My Z, I Don't Know How Much They Weigh, But They Feel Lighter Than The Stock Wheels, And Damn They Look Good, I'll Get A Pic For U. And They Are Very Durable, I Mean Well Curbs, Potholes And Bumbs Haven't Bent Them, (yet) Recomend Nitto 555's Seem To Wear Good, 8k And Still Have Tread

I've got them and they fit fine on the stock tires.

Gotten plenty of compliments on them as well.

I just love these guys who look down on those that don't spend 2 grand on a set of wheels.

And as far as people saying that they are heavy: How many people on this site do you really think are racing for a living, where it makes a difference.

If you like them, get them. I have no regrets.
