I like them. I'm looking into some rims for my Maxima too. It's going to be repainted soon. I'm thinking black.

Black gloss is not my first choice for silver, but I must say 16lbs (if they really are) is a very impressive weight for an 18x9 wheel. What type if price did you pay (if you don't mind me asking?) The curved 5 spoke lip look goes pretty well with the 5th gen.

my rims in 18x9 +35 offset are claimed to weigh 14.74lbs each rim. if i had to guess its probably 15.xxlbs. but those cost $660 per rim msrp. thats why i was asking him if he actually weighed the rims on a scale to get those weights.

No way in hell do those weigh in at 16lbs.

I've toted them around the shop before. Try tacking another 8-10 lbs on them, then you'll be in the right ballpark.

Fedex shipped them at 16lbs on the scale I haven't gotten around to mounting them yet I'm thinking about selling them for now cause I need the money and pick up something else but if I do mount them ofciurse I will post a pic. They are not ruff racing they are elemental design wheels or something I'm in puerto RICO right now so I can't check the actual name of them
