Have to share (wheels)

[Rex]

I added these pics and the details to the fitment thread, but had to share .







The inner front clearance

BBS RGR 18x9 +35 245/45/18's

[StarPD]

They look identical to my new TSW "Kyalami" chrome wheels in 18" x 8" that I just put on my 2005 Q45, except mine have a cover over the lug nuts.

I wish I could have afforded BBS forged.

What tires?

Looks great.

Congrats.

That's what I am talking about!

Look silver next to the black.

God, I -love- BBS wheels. I'm also curious about the tires.

[Rex]

Sorry for not mentioning ...

The tires are Yokohoma AVS ES100's. I had a set of them on the Murano wheels on the Q, that were before the OZ's that were before these .

I really like them and for a directional, I find them to be quiet. The 100 load rating adds some nice sidewall stiffness.

I would not suggest trying to get 255's on an 18x9 +35, I think it would be TOO close on the inside front. Oddly enough, I almost think these would be somewhat sunken on a Y33.

Nahh, they are fine, with the 255/40-18. I would run the taller tire with the shorter rear end if that's what Rob left in. He switched so often I couldn't keep up.

Those wheels are gorgeous on your car. Chrome on black on those beautiful silver rims... delicious!

Where did you get them?

NICO site sponsor http://www.tirerack.com ... and no I didn't get any Mod/Admin special pricing.

I'd really like more lip and wider rears, but I wanted to be able to rotate. The trade-offs we make.

Very nice Rex! Looks great.

FYI, for anybody interested, looks like Tire Rack has these on close out, but only for the 18 x 7.5 and 18 x 9 sizes. The prices are a significant reduction from list.

Beautiful! I love BBS wheels and at 1/2 price and only 19.0 lbs seems like a win-win situation. My question is how much is there in the difference between the weight of the stock wheels and tires compared to the new package?

Simply Sexy!

A definite eye popper...

I've never had a set of stock (G50) wheels on my Q's, so I don't know, but the 18x9 with 245/45's wheigh near 50 lbs total.
