new rims=more vrrooomm

I had new Nismos installed last week. Knew they would look a heck of a lot better than the oem 18's but did not realize how much more punch the car would have with lighter rims. Boy, what a blast!

Your car looks great.

Yeah, dropping that unsprung weight helps a lot. I just weighed my new setup vs stock and found I lost 12lbs per wheel!! That's almost 50lbs total. Stock 18" with the Potenzas weigh approx. 60lbs (Bathroom scale). I also went up to a 295/35 on a 10.5" rim vs 245/45 on an 8"!
