The New "What did you do with your Z today" (with off topic replies) III

Hey, what do you all know of Niche wheels? I always thought they were cheesy, but they have some nice looking three piece forged setups.

yah, my local discount tire (america's tire) has a non-touch mounter too and they did a perfect job on my nismo's when i had new yok's mounted

when i get the RE11's mounted though, im going to Fit them to southbend (tirerack).

It looks like they never even touched the wheel! I'm sooooo pleased! I now have a trustworthy tire shop!

Here's another jewel: the nail that was in my tire did not puncture the tube, so no repair was required!

One last thing: I didn't get charged a penny!

Good deal, Mr. Happy

Discount Tire or Tire Discounters

I have used Discount Tire for my last few cars, and I have always been happy. With the Z, they have me drive on and off the lift even

yah, 3pcs wheels appear to be very tricky to manufacture. i would let the real wheel manufacturers handle those.

they are much heavier than one piece wheels though, and a biotch to clean. my G35C runs 3pc SSR's and without a blower i can't get the water out of the channel between the spoke and barrel pieces.

it's worth the hassle if you're into

wheels.

on my Z i prefer one piece light weight wheels.

I'm not going to give them another thought! Why waste my time and hard-earned dollar?
