Wheel spoke to caliper = tons

Yes the rims are real. Its a 2" thick clear polcarbonate. They only come in 20", 21" or 22". They are made by Radurra, and also called the "Radurra" Prices are between $4k-$5 a rim, depending on size. I know they are also avaliable for motorcycles, but I dont know in what sizes or price range.

Have any of you ever tried that chameleon paint in cans that Autozone carries? I'm wondering if it's done patiently, if it'd look alright.

PS. Is there a way to set this so it automatically shows my sig without having to check the box?

Quick replies always have to check box,but you can set
replies to show sig. automatically. I would'nt use paint
in a can unless you have to. I would just primer if I had
to use spray paint and maybe put some flames on it too.

Nope, it is some sort of metallic gray that never got clearcoated.
What really sucks is someone replaced the right fender, but is in the original color and glossy

I'll probably get a cheapo paint job once I'm done paying off some customers I owe money too.

I don't suppose anyone notices that those clear wheels would stay "clear" for about 10 seconds once you hit the brakes

I'm sure they are intended more for the showroom floor than the racetrack anyway. I wonder how much 2'' thick polycarbonate weighs anyway.

And once they're dirty you can forget about cleaning them. Until you take them off the car, that is...

I like OZ Ultraleggeras but TireRack says they don't fit. 17x8 w/40mm offset.. Can anyone say otherwise?

well I know that on an 8" wide wheel the optimum offset is 35 so 40 might rub the strut tower...I don't know for sure because I am not sure how close the tire is to the strut with that 35mm offset. They will work with a 5mm spacer for sure though.

I had ROTA 17X8.5 with some 15mm spacers, they only weight 17lbs. very light.

Good quality

Any 94-current Mustnag 17X8 will fit with a 235/45/17. I think the 98' COBRA rims are nice.

Any newer MAXIMA wheels will look great.
I think these are two fronts from a 350Z

Two fronts from a G35 sedan or coupe will work too.

The stance on that black emerald one is hot. Wonder what kind of suspension setup is there. Sorry, hah... off topic; just caught my eye.

That's EIBACH, I recognize that stance anywhere.

I had my 97' COBRA rims on my 92 SE for a few months when I had my EIBACHs on. 17X8 with a 245/45/17, same as this guy.

Wow, really? That's crazy, pretty much all of the 3rd gens I've seen have the eibach 1.2" drop. That one just looked oddly different. Looks like a rally car!

Damn mudflaps...

Here's what the website for those wheels say:

Technical Data
The center is 1.5 or 2” polycarbonate, chemical hard coated both sides.

Weight 20” - 27 lbs, and 22” - 38 lbs (complete wheel weight)

All other parts of the wheel are forged 6061t aluminum
(Inner and outer hoops and Hub center)

SAE tested, certified and passed Impact, cornering and radial tests.

Now in production, average delivery time is 6-8 weeks.

Suggested retail is $5000.00 per wheel

- and I agree with Jeff... one or two hard brake "hits", and those wheels will be about as clear as the Hudson River!
