Default Lightest rims (awesome!)

I saw these in person today(not on a Z) on the shelf at a performance shop where i get my stuff. Talk about awesome looking. The guy let me hold it and it was a fewwww pounds lighter than the lightest volk there. I was amased. I am definitely getting these on my chrome silver Z, but if you have black i think these rims would look crazy! Runs about $4000 w/ tires for 19'' and yes it was the19'' i was holding and it was astonishingly lightweight.

Those are not the lightest rims...

The NISMO LMGT4's are lighter than those...

but those are the 2nd lightest 19" rim... I believe the 19" lmgt4's are half a pound lighter but also are not 10.5 in the rear...

I love the CPF Tune's... They are damn sexay wheels...



We have the wheels that our race team runs and they are in the low 13-14 lbs each...

Enke RPF1's are low to mid 17lbs for the 350z sizes... and much cheeper then the CPFTunes...

Beautiful wheels. I'd like to see them in a color similar to the Volk flat silver. I wonder if the TPS will fit....

It comes out to about 4k after tires mounted and ballanced... if anyone is interested PM me your zip code and I will get you the best shipped price w/ tires Mounted and Ballanced....

They are made specifically for the 350z and only in the offset for the 350z... (g35 too)

Mike Edens (mjedens) has been running these on his Z since their release.

VERY clean design and look.

Adam @ Z1Performance took good car of him, and keeps these in stock.

Yes I sold the CP-F tuners to Mike Edens sometime in March. They are beautiful wheels and very light weight and strong. If you need very detailed pics let me know.

$4K? Your money would be much better spent on Fikses for that price... Good looking wheel, but not worth that money IMO...

Fikse run around $3400 to $3600 for 18x9 18x10, just rims. NO tires or mount and balance, so for the price those CP-F's aren't too bad.

That's the list price... Fikse has always produced the strongest wheel on the market . . . period

Depending on the style any Fikse wheel in 18" goes for around $3000 for just rims, I've gotten quotes. The CP-F mentioned earlier was in a 19" configuration so pricewise its not comparable. I didn't say that CP-F's were strong, just that for the money and based on weight, size and quality it was not a bad deal.

I wouldn't say Fikse were the strongest wheel too, that would be too much of a generalization, Kinesis, CCW, BBS, HRE, Volk have many models of wheels that are in this upper echelon of strength quality and value. If Fikse were so great you would see alot more of them at TRACK events, and say The 24HRS of Lemans (BBS). Though Fikse does make some nice wheels.

Having seen many cars go agricultural and/or wreck, I can say that Fikse produces the strongest wheels by far... much better than CCW, Kinesis, or BBS. HREs and Volks are rarely used (if ever, I've never seen them) in true harsh competition use.
