Wheel gurus please advise!!

What up guys!!!

Had a couple of wheel questions:

1. Does anyone know approximately how much a 18 X 8 350Z wheel weigh? (see my sig).
2. What about a 17"?
3. Do the 17" Z/G rims clear BBK kits? (35 to 38MM offset)

Thanks fellas

Here are the weights I found on my350z.com, see post 30:

17" base rims F: 17x7.5 = 23.26 lbs and R: 17x8.0 = 24.140 lbs
18" track rims F: 18x8.0 = 18.1 lbs and R: 18x8.5 = 18.62 lbs
18" perf/touring rims F: 18x8.0 = 27 lbs and R: = 18x8.0 = 27 lbs
18" LMGT rims F: 18x8.5 = 18.3 lbs and R: 18x9.5 = 18.8 lbs
19" LMGT rims F: 19 x 8.5 = and R: 19x9.5 = around 22 lbs

I believe that all 18's will clear BBK's. The 17's I'm not sure, but my gut says no, however someone else might know for sure.

Definitely track edition Rays wheels are the way to go.

Best place to start looking is my350z.com classifieds. g35driver.com is another place to look, but you will obviously find more G35/G37 rims there.
