Motegi Traklites

Anyone know where to get them NOW? Tirerack doesn't have them just yet.....(availability 7-26-06)

I like the 2.0 Black w/ polished lip. (14.5lbs FTW)..Though the others look ok also. Not the sexiest wheel, but they're light...

SSR comps in 17x8 = 13.7 lbs IIRC. I like the comps better but cant find those ***** either. Someone own me if I'm wrong.

they look pretty nice...the design is similiar to the comps...it's a 6spoke but the thickness is different between the two...they both have polished lips as well...

pricing doesn't sound bad either!! overall, i give it a two thumbs up!

I ordered the 17x8 Blk / Ma lip...

They should be in on the 25th and shipped to me ASAP thereafter.

So hopefully the last weekend in July they'll show up and be installed.

Now debating whether I should go 235/45 or 245/45 .........hmmmm

You're paying too much. Then again, it doeesn't matter if you're making $50/hour, right?

How much should I be paying? Haven't finalized the deal yet... They'll call me when they get in. I can't find any wheel in that dimension that weighs less than 15lbs for a better price.

OZ Superleggera III, $874/wheel 18x8 Not even sure on the wight.. Now that's just phsycho to pay that much.

I don't even get 50k/year

if you arent stuck on it being less than 15, you could look at the kosei k1 ts. 17x8 weighing in at 15.5lbs and about 50 bucks cheaper a wheel. not exactly the best looking wheel i will admit but mine have had no issues on the same roads that paramy has bent a few wheels on.

Buy my wheels! Just kidding. But seriously, these 300zx na wheels weigh about 16 lbs each, fyi.

If you're willing to spend that much, why don't you consider getting slightly used Volk or something?

I am not positive. But I know they clear Z32 rotors, since they're Z32 wheels. Duuuuh.

37.5lbs/corner vs my MMEV5's @ 51.5lbs.

For comparison,
My stock 15'sw/yoko Avid H's for my A32 weigh in @ 39lbs...
