370z sport wheels vs. nismo
 
Can anyone verify whether the nismo wheels are any light than the sport rays? If so by how much?

Front Wheels (Sport Package): 23.2lbs(10.52kg)
Rear Wheels (Sport Package): 23.8lbs (10.8kg)

Nismo: Weight: about 20lbs – front; 23lbs – rear

Where did you find the info on the nismos? and why is there such a large difference from front to rear with the nismo compared to the sport?

Just searched the forum, a few different posts said the same thing (and each said they weight them).

im just curious as to why there is such a large difference from front to rear with the nismos. they are the same width apart from each other as the sport rims, which the sports barely vary from front to rears....

It's the design of the wheel even with the .5 inch difference the amount of material is less on the Nismo wheel than what is used for the sport rays. That is the reason as simple as you can get....Wheel design.

I wasn't questioning why the nismos are lighter than the sports, I was questioning why the weight differential is so much different on front to rears with the nismos compared to the differential of the sports. The width difference between both rims is the same, so i just found that strange..

You would have to call nissan and ask them why. Omg this dude so annoying

critical 09-27-2013 03:45 PM

the main difference is the size. 9.5in/10.5in instead of 9in/10in

Chan Chee Hoe 09-27-2013 06:28 PM

I think the reason for being lighter are the Nismo got thinner 'spokes' than the standard,hence lighter.

Lol, nvm, you guys still aren't understand what I'm saying.

Excuse me?

I know what you're saying, but I don't know why it's that way. Apparently there is significantly less material on the front nismo wheels than the back as compared to the front and back of the sport rays. Just ignore that guy who's bitching for no reason...he's obviously looking for a response if he took the time to type out his feelings

Ummm.. who cares? :ugh: As critical said, design of the wheel.

bmarcinczyk14 09-27-2013 11:44 PM

i need nismo rims asap, willing to trade my sports along with 4 h&r 20mm spacers :)

mag_black 09-30-2013 09:40 AM

I hope you find what you're looking for, but you'll need more than 4 spacers and sport rays to get those nismo's.
