I like the mesh one.

The first one you posted is really heavy, although I can't find out what the mesh ones weigh.

Which one is the mesh one, sorry not sure which one your referring to.

Also, as far as the heavy one that started this topic, what do you think about looks, No go for a coupe?

thanks

The original ones look good if you could pick an offset giving you that concave look, and fewer spokes. Is this your second account?

Okay, but I dont think I could do fewer spokes, thats how the rim is built 8(

I like the spokes in the first, but 33lbs is an accident waiting to happen.

really, The weight of the rims if heavy can cause an accident, or make it more likely? I thought it would just reduce MPG i never knew the weight of your rims mattered, but darn

I like the second as well.

The "heavy wheels" can significantly increase your stopping distance making it more likely for you to not stop in time if some "panic stopped" in front of you.

Does anyone know the normal weight of the Standard rims on a 2.5s? just so I can compare


thanks

Don't know, but the stock 17" wheels on the 2008/2009 3.5 are about 24 lbs. each.

Don't forget, if you're going up to 18's, 19's or even 20's, the tire weighs more also. That's one of the reasons people lke to go with a light weight forged wheel. In some cases, a forged 19" wheel will weigh less and help offset the overall increase of the wheel/tire weight combo.

The Nismo's, G35 Coupe 19's or "quality" light weight forged aftermarket wheels will help minimize this.

This doesn't mean putting a set of wheels (that are 15 lbs per corner [wheel + tire]) will make your car fall apart, but the increased weight will make it accelerate slower and take longer to stop. It's a trade off, show or go.
