Hi all, I am new here. Does anybody know any 19"/9.5 or bigger wheel for '07 350Z that weight around 20lb or less? I know Volk wheels are pretty light, but how light? The 07 GTC weights around 3400lb. My target is less than 3200lb. I am going to start with the wheel and work my way up. Thanks for all the informations!

 

nismo's are probably under 20 pounds in 19x9.5, and Enkei RPF1's, and any of the Volks...cats drop 30 pounds, JIC magic race bucket seats drop like 25 pounds. etc

 

If weight is a consideration, maybe you should pass on 19 inch wheels.

Most likely you will be looking for a forged mono block wheel. Volk and Gram Light 57F come to mind. There are alternative manufacturing methods for light wheels. SSR and Wed Sports might work. Or if you have mad money, get magnesium wheels.

 

In a 19" size, OEM Nismo and Volk CE28's are your prime choices....and the TE37 model is very close.

 

You can invest in a set of 03-05 oem track wheels. They are 18" and weigh about 18lbs a piece.

Take out your spare tire and save about 40lbs. You'll have no spare but will gain 0.02whp. LoL

 

CE28N would be your best shoot... lightest 19" Volk on the market..

 

I have a 19X10 ADVAN RS that weighs 19.2 lbs. and the 19X9 = 18.8lbs. The Volk 2 piece wheels are not light. Only the Volk one piece forged wheels are.

Considering these wheel scome finished, how likely is it to have them stripped, prepped and color mathced; $$???

 

WHY !!! not the TA's !!! just get some other color.... they come in 4 or 5 different colors.

 

Well, if you end up powdercoating you'll probably be looking at roughly $75 per wheel depending on the shop. They will acid wash them to remove any existing finish, spray the powder and bake for strength.

If you paint them, I would say the shop would probably just prep and paint over the existing finish.

 

Do the CEs come in a gun metal color?

 

Volk CE28, LE37, TE37
Enkei RPF1, RP03
SSR Comp

I think those are your options...

 

yup..

Ti Silver, Merc Silver, Gunmetal, bronze, Gold, Noble Gold, White, Red, Green, Orange, Mag blue. etc etc. as long as you pay for the 'special' color price...

 

Noble gold is no longer available.

 

Te37 Ftw!!!!!

 

Yap...spare tire and tools are out almost when I got the car thanks anyway...Thinking about lightweight battery, odyssey PC680, but people says not strong enough for a V6. So, won't do the battery yet.

 

Thanks Jet! This is very helpful. I like the design but don't know the weight, so this is really helpful...Thanks. I like Advan RS (Face II) more than the CE28

 

Thanks very much for the info...I try not to sacrifice the comfort and luxury inside the car, like stereo, hands free,...and so on...mmm...maybe not heated seat. It is a Grand Touring after all Oh, by the way, are those bucket seat comfortable? if you happen to know...personally. If they are, I will start looking into that. Engine wise, I am waiting for the Vortech S/C for the 07 HR engine.

 

You have a G35 Coupe? I really like one of the wheels that come with the G35 (I think that is the original ones). It has like 7 spokes which "sunk" towards the centre. It looks elegant to me, almost similar to the wheels on some of the BMWs (I think M6). But the beamer has 10 or 12 or more spokes, too many, and this kinda hide the beauty of the curve of the wheels.

 

consider optima batteries... they're used in G's/Z's
