Are Track or Nismo's lighter?
 
Does anyone know if the Track model wheels are lighter or heavier than the Nismo's? Or possibly the same... Thanks!

hmmmm good question, i think i don't know

LOU Jun 13, 2004 08:16 PM

Thanks!

i believe they're the same dry weight... but on a car, the track rays will be "lighter" because there is less rotational mass (18x8 and 18x8.5 as opposed to 18x8.5 and 18x9.5 = more mass at the furthest part of the rim)

Track 18":
Super-light Alum Alloy
F-18x8
18.188lbs
R-18x8.5
18.629lbs

cannot find info on the nismo's but i remember that they weigh 18 lbs plus change also.

I remember seeing the spec for Nismos a long while ago... if I'm right, the Nismos are 'a bit' heavier than the track Rays... but almost the same

nismo's front and rear are 0.x kg heavier .

samw1978 Jun 14, 2004 12:41 PM

yes they are both made by Rays...
track at 18.2/18.6lbs where the Nismo is at 18.4/19 or something like that? OMG! my bad memory... :(

Thanks for the info. I guess either way I go, it will be better off than my stock Touring rims. Of course I think the Nismo's win out on style.

The Nismo are lighter....
 
in the front just by a hair and heavier in the rear just by a hair...however, the Nismos will allow you to use 275 width rubber in the rear, the tracks won't. Go Nismo for sure.

LOU Jun 14, 2004 05:43 PM

I definitely want fatter tires... especially after my Vortech is installed!!!

DeeZee Jun 14, 2004 07:20 PM

nismo's are slightly heavier. I still like them more tho... of course, I am biased.

Rays' Track wheels

8.3kg (r)
