Another Server Burp calls for clarification...
My original post here was something like this:
Buy me a set of Q-45 rims and I'll take some pics for ya!
But then, the damn server burped, AGAIN, and deleted my post so now you miss the humor (at least I thought it was funny).
*sigh*

Why would they be any heaiver than chrome or normal Maxima factory 17s? I don't know about the new Q45 17s but the old Q45 17s had the 17x7 sized wheels just like the maxima. But since this new one as over 300hp, I hope to god they got smart and put some 8" wheels on there.

Man, that's a friggin' bad@ss setup!
On the other hand, the Q's wheels maybe a little heavy for the Max to drag around.

Shouldn't they reinforce the rear wheels b/c of all the torque the Q is putting down on the road?

Nope. RWD has no bearing on the weight of the wheel.
ie.. take a look at my wheels. RWD design but only weigh about 19-22 lbs. each. Just as light or lighter than other wheels of 17x8 size.

They may be perhaps a little heavier than the stock Max 17's since the Q is a RWD.

I prefer MaximaGT or VE5.0DE LOL!! My mechanic friends calls it a MaxStang. But I catch both of those bozos looking at the wheels thinking if it will fit their cars. : )
