2015 Nismo Wheels and Tires
 

What are the ratings of the 2015 Nismo tires and rims? I read up that the wheels are Y rated, but approximately what speed and how much torque can the rims handle?

As much if not more than any other wheel?
They're forged Rays, not going to find many stronger wheels on the market

:iagree:

Agree again on Forged Rays. Taking subjective style out of the equation, you will not find a better, stronger wheel.:tup:

Where on the 15 wheel does it say Rays

Look in between the spokes on the front should show somewhere. Also, if you were to look in the back/inside of the wheels you will see "Rays".

Wait, are you worried your car will have too much torque for the OEM Nismo wheels to handle? Did you mean the tires are Y-rated?

Yes. I'm asking for future reference if the Rays themselves would cause a problem if a Z, or any car for that matter, would have too much torque for the wheel to handle.

What is the weight in the 2015 wheels? lighter than the 09-14 wheels?

Ill let you know in 2 hours :) you will not by any means ever have too much torque for a rays wheel

You would play hell breaking a Forged Rays wheel. There are similar wheels holding in the 4 figures of HP and TQ.

There are alot of cast wheels that put up with big hp numbers aswell.

Rays has one of the better forging processes in the world. I wouldn't sweat it unless you are bolting them to a Top fuel dragster.

I had a set of volk te 37sl's on my sti. I was in a head on collision and the wheel had a slight bend on the lip, the axel and frame welds broke because the wheel didn't.

The 2015/2016 Nismo wheels weigh
Front- 21
Rear- 23

A rough estimate, with tires they are 50 and 54.4. You can find lighter by a pound or 2 going advans or volks and ce 28's.

It does not say anywhere on the wheel

i think some explanation is needed. OP clearly is mixing up tire speed and load rating vs what causes a wheel to break.

Tires have speed rating because it has to constantly change shape. The faster the speed, the faster the compress+rebound has to be to maintain level contact to the pavement. Also, this constant changing of shape, the bending and unbending of the rubber and the steel belt inside, generate heat, of which the tire must be able to bear.

Wheels: no you won't break the wheels. You car will never generate enough downward force or side load to break the wheel. Unless you go through pot holes with no regards. A curb or pot hole so bad that completely compresses a tire and hit the wheel directly may bend or break the wheel, but that's not the origin of your inquiry. As for speed rating of a wheel, I'm not sure there is such thing. The wheel remains constant shape, unlike tires. A wheel that will disintegrate itself because of spinning too fast is a really really shitty wheel, not even Chinese knockoffs do that.

Thanks. It probably seemed like I mixed it up from how I phrased it.
