Anyone have the m56s wheel specs including weight?

[MpamP]

I am shopping for new wheels and would like to stay at or under the stock m56s 20" wheel weight. Does anyone have the specs or most importantly to me the weight of the wheels without tires?

Thanks

Any thoughts on Niche wheels?

Welcome to the forum. Wheels are 20x9, 43 offset. Don't know the weight, sorry.

Don blaze hit it on the specs. I havent been able to find weight for the sport whels either.
Niche makes some nice wheels but they run the spectrum...inexspensive casts to $5k custom 3piece wheels. Anything in mind?

[wideopn11]

They are pretty heavy. I think most custom wheels will likely be lighter than the stock 20" wheels.

Thanks for the information yall. There are 3 main manufactures that I've been looking at. Tsw niche and Lorenzo... My only hangup now is if I buy 22"s will the m's ride and performance degrade to unacceptable levels... I'll post some pics of the wheels I am interested in shortly. Any feedback, opinions, or just plain information about the wheels would be greatly appreciated!

I would expect some loss of handling with 22s. Plus I don't think they'd look right.

sorry for the late response. when I weighed mine they were around 71lbs with tire. My 20" concave wheels were actually lighter. Those things are insanely heavy.

22 wont look out of place on the M but they will be heavier so there will be some loss of ride quality. I like like TSWs. They're durable, look good and priced pretty nicley. Most styles do tend to be on the heavy side but they may still weigh less than the heavy stock wheel. TSW does make a couple flow formed wheels that should be lighter than their other designs.
Niche makes everything from cast to 3piece modular wheels so their prices are gonna be all over the place. I like their designs too but not sure about weight. dont know much about Lorenzo.

I spent some time looking at forged wheels (the other thread got me thinking) and I think that I'm going to stick with the Vossen CVT's in 20x10. I don't know why, but most of these companies (including Vossen) make it so hard to find prices, sizes, etc. I gave up after trying to dig through the sites of some of the brands listed above. And the other issue is, because of their 'higher end' notoriety, these brands aren't sold on sites such as TireRack, 1010Tires, etc.

In other words, it's incredibly hard to find information.

I wish there was a site such as http://www.tirerackforballers.com or something...

Thanks for all the responses and TMK thanks for going to all the trouble of actually weighing your wheels/tires!! I am also looking at the flow formed offerings from vossen, HRE flow formed, WEDS maverick 508s and the Work gnosis 201 or 202

Did someone say Maverick 508S?

Oh my. Those are nice.

I had a set of WedsSport SA55M on my G37 when I had the car and loved them. There was a user on MyG37.com (DaMayor) that had a modded M, but I do not believe he has the car anymore. He had a set of Weds Kranze Cerberus. Insanely hot.

[Ilya]

Kenny doesn't have the M anymore!? Man. Damn.

[SwissCheeseHead]

He hasn't been updating his build thread on MyG37. His last post on it was in June 2014 so i can only assume that he's not doing anything with it anymore or that he's sold it.

[DoN_BLaZe34]

I think Swiss is right...think I saw or heard that to be true as well. I forget what he has now

[AlphaSnacks]

He sold it and bought a 370Z.

[Ilya]

Ahh okay, thanks Arnold. Yeah he works for an Infiniti dealer so he gets deals/access to some nice offers. Not surprised he changed it up. His car is my inspiration. Some of my tax refund will go towards coilovers.

Bumping to ask if by now anyone has been in the position to weigh a bare sport wheel.

[jmissile]

sorry for the late response. when I weighed mine they were around 71lbs with tire. My 20" concave wheels were actually lighter. Those things are insanely heavy.

Sheesh I got 67lbs total with my wore out sumitumos on the stock 20's, I used a spare g35 sport oem rim to throw on while I rotated my tires and they were A staggering 23lbs lighter albeit being an inch narrower and rim and 20mm narrower tire. But it went on over the sport caliper np. It got me really thinking of how much performance I'm losing with the stock 20s

[EdBwoy]

I've got some numbers.

M56 sport
20 x 9, offset 43
32 lb 10 oz

Yes, you are spinning 33 pounds of metal before accounting for the tire and brake rotor

Mine should get quite a bit lighter once I change the brakes, rotors, and add some lightweight aftermarket wheels. I'm already sitting in the 3900lbs region on total weight with that heavy stock exhaust gone. Should dip into 3800's once this is all finished.
