well i have debating on either just gettin new tires for my stock 16's or getting new wheels with tires.....

today i was looking at wheels and i came across Brand MURANO wheels on ebay for $200 plus $50 shipping....instead of biddin on the auction i called them and asked them if they would sell me them for $225 shipped....i found out that it was a nissan dealership that i was buynig from.....the guy talked to his service manager and told me DEA!!

i plan on puttin on 235/40/18 all seasons.....what do u guys think....i think i got one hell of a deal on the wheels....

That is extremely cheap, but I also think those wheels are extremely heavy.

actually i think those wheels are like 23lbs. wont be much of a difference from your stock wheels weight wise.

i heard the same thing about the newer oem nissan rims, that they're heavy and they'll kill accel. my dad is lookin to downgrade to 17s on his 6th gen. he's just going to get rid of them, unless i can find oem 17s for him. he said i can just take his stock 18s if i do that for him. wut do you guys think?

If anything i think these murano rims are lighter or maybe a pound heavier. I got them on my car 235/40 and i love them. I got them for $600 shipped with brand new tires. The only thing i notice is that i spin my tires alil more when i accelerate from a light very fast but i dono if thats from the kind of tires or what compared to my old tires that i needed to change in like a couple months. Enjoy the rims! Heres some pics of my car with the rims on.

Nice pickup you got there. Now that's what i call ground clearance. As for the deal, that's EXCELLENT for OEM wheels. Still 23lb 18's should slow your acceleration quite a bit from the 16" SE's that weigh 19lbs because of rotational mass and there's now more weight farther from the center.

There are aftermarket 18" wheels that are both heavier and lighter than oem. You are just going to have to do a bit of research. My 18" ADR Fuels weigh about 19-20 lbs each (18" x 7.5") which are lighter than 18" 6th gen wheels.
