New Wheels. 56k gg.

tbonesteak · 05-02-2010, 01:05 AM

Just bought these puppies today from DirtyDave. Immaculate condition and got a great deal on them too. Would recommend DirtyDave to anyone looking for a very honest, friendly, and professional transaction. This guy is LEGIT and we can use more members like him. Brought them home, washed them about 5 times, waxed them using my bare hands while my dad watched me for an hour scratching his head. He probably thought I was on drugs. I think he was thinking somewhere along the lines of: "I wonder what this guy is smoking to clean some rims that are gonna get dirty more thoroughly than he cleans himself....". Tires will go on this week along with the Nismo exhaust that i also bought from DirtyDave. Will do a photoshoot this coming weekend. Thanks for looking!

BTW, these wheels are WICKED LIGHT!!! they are definitely lighter than the oem sport pkg Rays by a good margin. I cannot believe that Rays manufactured something this aggressive for an oem application.

Do you have pics installed?

^^ they're just the stock Nismo wheels.

It's been hard for me to find even aftermarket wheels with the same concavity as my stocks.

tbonesteak · 05-02-2010, 01:27 AM

yea i think these are a keeper. Super lightweight, aggressive fitment, looks, rays forged, need i say more? haha

tjlazer · 05-04-2010, 02:22 PM

Congrats! I love mine! A great wheel IMHO...

Juruki · 05-07-2010, 02:57 PM

are the specs different from the regular 370z sport package wheels?
They look nice!

Rasengan · 05-07-2010, 04:57 PM

i love mine as well...they were the first mods i got and i only had the sport rays on for about 130 miles

I have to agree I am surprised how agressive these are for an OEM application!

P.S. Perfect pushup FTW!

Well said! If I ever stumble upon a set with good price, I will get it and powder coat them 40th anniversary rim color

. BTW, Who's Dirty Dave?

Are you powder coating them?

KingZee · 06-03-2010, 04:02 PM

Nice wheels for sure...post up pics when done, I really wanna see how these look. These are definitely one of my wheel options.

That's exactly what I had in mind.

UFreefer · 06-07-2010, 11:01 PM

How much lighter are they compared to the sports?

molamann · 06-07-2010, 11:03 PM

Nice wheels, looks immaculate as described.

haha thanks guys. here is a quick cell phone shot

To answer some of your questions, these are very different from the Sport pkg Rays wheels. They're wider by .5" front and back and have more aggressive offsets. When i swapped out my sport pkg wheels, i remember these being definitely noticeably lighter than the sport pkg rays. It wasn't like a night and day difference, but atleast a good 2-3 lbs lighter per wheel. HAHAh AK, i thot u knew every member on this board. Dirty Dave was awesome to deal with. Oh and yes, those are Iron Gym and Perfect PushUps for all you perceptive people that noticed it. Great for when i don't have time to make it to the gym.
