Got Wheels?

[generic808]

The 18"s im eyeing for the winter... (maybe permenent and sell the 20s) are 22lbs each... does that mean they are light??

How wide are they? If they're 8 or 8.5, than that's pretty light. The Nismo's are 8.5 and they weigh like 18lbs!! Now that's what you call super lightweight!

8 wide...

[generic808]

Yeah, that is pretty light; that's how much my forged wheels weigh. What type of metal is used for those wheels? Just wondering because you may sacrifice durability for weight if it's a crappy metal.

Im gonna go with the 2nd ones...They are 18x8I know i should be on 45 tires... but what about the width? Whats the range i can use and the ideal? i want to pick the cheapest lol

[generic808]

If they're 18x8, the IDEAL choice would be 235/45/18 no questions asked. I'm on 18x8 but I'm running 225/45/18 because of tire selection and price. The 235 size is very limited and very expensive. There is only a .3 inch difference between the two tires so it'll only affect your speedo by 1.3%. If you end up with 225's, I'd highly suggest you look into the Falken FK452's because in my opinion, they are the best tires for the price. It's a great balance of performance and price. But, if you're going for the lowest cost with pretty good performance, I'd suggest Federal SuperSteel 595. You can find those for about a buck twenty-five a piece.

Generic... im gonna be driving in snow... is that an issue?

[generic808]

Hahaha wrong question to ask me. I live in Hawaii and I've only seen snow twice in my life Just scratch my tire choice selection I gave you earlier. I don't think you should use UHP tires in the snow My bad.

Those are the EXACT rims I've been eying since I bought my All black 2.5SL. I cannot wait to get them here and mounted. I decided to go with the 18's, with 225-45-18's. A good balance of tire and thickness for me, and it's only like .3% off from the stock setup for speed.

I was looking at some Yokohama AVID W4S's on the MD2's. Man, all black, tints, and those rims, are going to look MEAN.

Thanks for the pics, it solidified my decision.

How's the ride quality compared to stock? I know you went with 35's, which is like zero rubbed.~m

[desantim]

Hey, did you throw in your TPMS sensors in the new tires from the old ones? How did that work out? I know that's what you do, but if you did, did you have to have the sensor reset? I had to have the dealership do it once, but it was their fault on that one.

i LOVE that setup, Windhaven. your car is honestly making me want to broaden my horizons & start thinking about white altimas instead of black ones... lol.
