So Im in the market for some new shoes for my max. Been looking around online and local and I found these



opinions?

Also wondering if the factory 245/45/18 RSA's will fit on an 18x7.5 rim. (btw not buying new tires atm, just recently got brand new rsa's put on from the recall)

thanks

 

A little thin IMO. Nice otherwise.

 

Nice, aggressive yet classy.

 

Dude, those are absolutely GORGEOUS! And yes, I am running my stock '06 RSA's on 8" wheels up front and 8.5" wheels in the back so I know they will work on these 7.5's (stock is 7" but I know you knew that). If they offered these in 8" I would go for that bro. Keep us posted and DAMN sure post some pics if you get these on. Seriously I think those are gorgeous, but they'll be a royal pain to keep clean. Better get ceramic brake pads.


p.s. where are you getting these and how much?

 

Any idea on how much they weigh?

 

dude who cares about the weight?!?!? its all about the look and how it gets attention. I mean your not going to race with it in the track, so just put them on

 

very classy and clean post some pics when u get them

 

i swear, when i was in the market for the old gen altima, i had come across the same rims on some member's page and i fell in love with these. personally, i think they'd look clean...me - on the other hand, if i were to go for these, i'd look into a black and chrome design, i had come across a set of rims similar to these but in black and chrome i think - they looked beautiful ! oh yeah, do post pictures once you're done

 

Ok dude.

 

seeing the stock rim is 18x7.5.....
but you didn't list the offset or bolt pattern.

look nice, but should be fun to clean

 

Finish: Hyper Light Bolt Pattern: 5x114.3 Wheel Size: 18x7.5 Offset: 35 Availability: In Stock Warranty: 1 Year Price: $130.00 (each

 

also just found these



Finish: Hyper Light Bolt Pattern: 5x114.3 Wheel Size: 18x8.5 Offset: 40 Availability: In Stock Warranty: 1 Year Price: $148.00 (each)

 

wow if they were no heavier than stock i'd be all over them for that price.

 

Those used to be my favorite wheels ever

 

did some googling on those rims, with a 225/40/18 Yoko Tire total weight of the rim+tire is 38lbs

 

 

That's a teeny **** tire though. Put a real tire on it and see what it weighs.

My lightweight 17's weigh that much with a 245-45-17. (37.5lbs)

 

ya, i just found someone with those tires and rims who weighed them. Im gonna use my stock RSA's till I need new rubbers and switch to something nice. Probably go back to some nice Yokos or i might try those fuzion tires.

 

Depends on a persons goals when modding their car, those of us who want performance do think about weight. I for one love the rims though!!!

 

Gotdang! At that price you cannot go wrong! I may pickup a spare set just for winter. Who has these at that price? Please link us bra.

 

aaahhhh, mesh wheels. Always been my all time favorite wheel style ever since the Racinghart Type-C's were introduced back in the mid 90's. Very classy...

^^

ive bought 2 sets of rims from them in the past great customer service and fast shipping.

 

some people care about the weight, you don't want rims that are heavy because your handling and MPG will suffer. So if you don't care that is your loss. Trust me there is a huge difference.

 

I used to be worried about weight/size... but since my local drag strip closed i have not been able to track muh car much... I had 18's ... just got my 20's... so far my gas hasnt changed from what i can tell (20-22) City... And thats not by the cars MPG calculator HHAH that thing is a joke ... My handling is actually better...

anyway... good luck and keep us posted

 

I saw an MPG increase of 12 -15%, consistently on the highway when I went from stock to lightweight wheels.

 

not to worried about the mpg increase/decrease (company gas card) style is what im looking for with these. I hate the stock 18's they're just so damn basic to me. Probably gonna put in the order for them tomorrow (pay day) well see what happens.

 

Nice looking wheels!

 

ever though about 19's or 20's....

 

ya but im gonna do the progress springs with the drop i think the 18s will look nice. plus 19/20" rims/tires are pricey.

 

Thats what I thought when I bought new 18's with springs, 6 months later, I put on 20's.
My Cost for 18's w/ new tires, $1400
My Cost for 20's w/ new tires, $1750.

I say save a lil longer or you may regret it and be out $3150 (1400+1750), to get what you wanted like myself.

 

true, but the 18's im looking at are only $920 shipped with tires, 20" rims with tires I doubt ill be able to find any for under $1500 not to mention the cost of 20" tires vs 18" tires is crazy (normally around $200 more per set) 19" rims are pricey also and tires for a 19" rim cost more then a 20" rim since its an off size tire. The rims im getting (possibly) have a nice deep dish that will help make them appear larger.

I dunno... if you can find me cheap 20's with tires for a decent price i might go that route.

 

OMG. I've never seen rims going for soo cheap. They do look real nice. Make sure they have a 1 year finish warantee. At that price I would be a 'lil afraid of the finish. But they are good lookin'
If your looking for a deep dish make sure you ask. They may have used the picture from a different bolt pattern that has a 20" size so the dish appears bigger. My old Zinik Minardi' 18's looked like they may have a 2" lip from the picture, but I would say it is only 1/2-3/4" lip on them.

 

18's are plenty big enough.

thx for the heads up. Also as for the finish its a "hyper silver" the last pair of rims i had were the same and i had those for over 2 years. Everytime i cleaned them they looked brand new.

 

If you get them. Please post Pics.

 

I went from my semi-heavy rims to super light nismos and see the difference big time. Probably around the numbers you've posted.

 

That's all you're gonna give em'?! Or was this just a total waste of time?
