well, whatever u do...dont ever buy wheels from these guys "thewheelconnection.com" their customer service sucks a big one.. they screwed up my bro's order, my bro gotta 4-lug 240sx and they sent him 5 lug and it took em 3.5 months to send those wheels to us and now we gotta send em back and now we been waiting again it's been 2 months already almost 3 and still no wheels..

Rims

I personally like the newer Maxima Rims. I'm using the 5 Spoke 2002's. Only thing is these are 16's. The 6 spokes are 17's though.

.......keep the sawblades...
yeah.....ok.......

There is always weight difference.. Normally when you are buying new rims, the company will tell you how much each rim weighs...some can weigh like 22+ lbs.... some can weigh less than 16....
It's just how much you're willing to pay... Just shop around...
Rota's are good rims... theyre lightweight, and they have replicas of almost all the big name brand companies: Volk, Work, ICW, Racing Hart... etc. etc.....
Goodluck on your search!
