Nissan Alcoa wheels, who has them?!?!?!
 

Yes mods, I know, wrong section, gimme a day? Pretty please?


Anyways, I bought a set, noticed they were a bit heavier than stock (2-3lbs each) so I decided not to put them on...

BUT I noticed that they are REALLY wide.
Fronts measure 10", rear 11" BUT they're stamped 9.0 and 10.0
I thought maybe I was measuring them wrong...

BUT my Nismo wheel measure a hair under 9.5/10.5"

Anyone with these wheels care to chime in?

Thanks in advance :tiphat:

lololol of course you have them. they're that wide? interesting. post up pics.

Pics posted

Never heard of them, are they forged?

Pics of the rim face please!

Nvm, just looked them up, nice concave but chrome?

Yes forged, not chrome, polished aluminum! Alcoa makes them!

Ah okay, "polished" looks nice on blue. Mount them up:tup:

Lol, will do! Sometime... I have so many wheels

Share the wealth :happydance:

Rim width is measured from inside the bead lip to inside, not the outside of the rim to outside, so 9" and 10" is correct.

If anyone has been telling you different, they've been telling you porkie pies - Tyre and Rim Assoc standards doco has all details

In your 11" photo, you can see that rim bead lip is ~0.5" - so rears will be 10".

But by that logic, the Nismo wheels would be narrower then specified.

I had a feeling it was something like this, BUT...

I'd have this question^

No problem!!!


Hey David, share the wealth... Of cash, lol

Bump to get attention!

for heavy narrow non-jdm wheels? :ugh:

Looks like you didn't read very well Ken... SMH, a few lbs heavier for wider than JDM wheels, lol
And hey, Alcoa's wheels are as strong as, of not stronger than Volks.
