I'm not sure why you say that - the +44 offset is perfect for a lot of cars for example my STI. It's also great for the Maxima and the G35 sedan. Yes on my R33 GTR I was running +12 and on My G35 I'm running +28, but different cars require different offsets, I don't see why that makes it "weak"...

If it's a Nismo wheel I would assume it to go on a performance oriented Nissan car, such as a 240, 300z, 350, g35, GTR, etc. +44 doesnt work on any of thsoe RWD/AWD cars. It's weak for the car is should be put on.

It's a good fit on the G35 Sedan, M45, etc., but obviously not optimal for the G35 Coupe or 350Z (although it could work, I'm toying with putting a set on my base 350Z just for the hell of it).

Actually, it is 18" X 8.5" +45mm, forged and thus strong extremely strong.

Might want to check your facts, Jack.

nismo already has the lmgt4 for 350z and other rwd cars, this version of the 57s is meant for other cars

most notably the front drivers, the sentra, alty, and max

if you want these in rwd sizes just go get gram lights 57f's, you wouldnt know the difference without the stickers

The LMGT4's are a bit heavier than 57F's as it's a bit older design.

seriously... if they made them in 17x9 +20 im sure they would have alot more customers. it just doesnt make sense why they would make the ****in dumbest dimensions and expect them to sell.

Forgot about the FF guys. Yeah, this wheel works for them, haha. Looks a little sunken on the G35 though.

And maybe stronger? Can you cite the strength for the same size wheel in both lines?

this is sized for a FWD car.

putting these on a 240sx or other rwd nissan would look rediculous.

If I was gonna spend money on wheels, I'd get TE37s, no doubt.
