These are heavier than stock sports right?

mine are 18x10.5, they are very close

A guy was selling some locally on craigslist for a good price. I wanted them bad but missed out :/

Ahh...I want those. What sizes did you end up going with? 19x9 and 19x10.5?

negative, the rears are actually almost a pound lighter. 23.8lb for stock vs. 23 for the tsw's.

And 2 lbs helps you how? :tup:

Carid.com

was simply answering a question.

but... since u asked....

The Effects of Rotational Inertia on Automotive Acceleration

there's some reading and calculating if anyone is bored

same weight savings in the front actually ~.8lbs (22.4 vs 23.2)

a rough rule of thumb to go by is, every 1 lb of rotational mass removed (depending on where in the wheel its removed) = about 5-10 lbs of static mass lost (again, it varies on where the weight is taken out in the wheel). in the case of the nurburgrings, the weight is mainly reduced on the outside, leading to a more dramatic effect on the weight reduction: sited http://www.tsw.com/alloy_wheels_nurburgring.php) so in these wheels case we will split the difference and say the weight reduction is = to ~ 7.5 lbs of static weight

SOOOO basically IF each wheel is 1 lb lighter you are essentially losing ~30 lbs of static weight. and since a rough estimate for weight loss vs power gained is ~10lbs lost = 1 hp gained THEN a person would attain a feeling of adding 3hp by adding these wheels.

:tiphat:

MMM....those look nice....:yum:

why thank u sir

Any more photo's of the TSW's on a 370Z ?

You running spacers in the front? Lowered?

I'm thinking about getting these wheels in gunmetal but I can't decide what width on the front.

No spacers in the front. 15mm in the rear. Lowered on swift springs.

Nice wheels!!! Thanks for sharing. Which color are these? Matte Black, Silver or Bronze? I can't tell from the sunlight.

I'm thinking of getting a set of these in 18". Dunno what offset to get yet to make it look flush with my Nismo body.

these are the bronze. the pic below is the best one to show the coor most acurately

tbh, i would go with at least 19's on your nismo. going down a wheel size is a big no-no IMO

I would but I intend to buy these next set for my dedicated track wheels and tire option is why I wanna go with 18" thanks for the help - it'll be pretty ugly going down a size.
