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!

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)

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

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.
