I'm with you, though the Sport rims have grown on me (very gradually). If I had it to do over again, I might have bought the base model, then put Enkei RPF-1 rims on. Even in the 18" x 9.5 fitment, which allows for some pretty fat tires, those wheels are approximately 6-8 pounds per wheel lighter than the Rays (depending on staggered or square set-up; 17.4 pounds each for the RPF-1). What is the big deal about a forged wheel, if it's not light? And the Enkeis are famously strong--used in many racing applications.

In high-performance cars and driving, weight and heat are the enemies.

I'm going to try that when I go to my Nissan dealership.

"So, I hear these rims can open beer bottles, can you confirms this?"

Def sports rims! Many people who hated the new Z

still loved the sports package rims. These rims are very nice in person I was told. I do like them. The base is VERY similar to the older Z rims. I would like to see new design rims on a new car

Def sport. Non sport brakes are FTL. and oem 18s are no better then the 19s like it or hate them

Minicobra1 · 12-10-2008, 04:32 AM

The sport rims look way better in person, I may powder coat them satin black, so the V thing wont be as noticable. Either way, they look good in person and fit the lines of the car, decent design for a stock rim.

Seeing as how I wont be adding new wheels to this car and the sport ones are in fact 20% lighter than the non-sport wheels. I actually really like the wheels matches the car nicely.
