They are TR Motorsports MT1 in matte grey. The wheels weigh 19lbs. I gained 2 pounds for the front tires and 3 for the rear. This is also on wider run flat tire up front and same for the rear. 245/40/18 on 8.5" wheels and 275/35/18 on 9.5" wheel. Non run flat tires that will be going on will have me at 1lb per wheel/tire combo up front heavier than the 350z track wheels and 1lb heavier per wheel/tire out back.

Really nice wheels. Your pictures look so ready to be printed on a magazine. I always thought the picture of your car was a picture you lifted from the front page of a magazine. Yep, go ahead and powder coat them.

WOW... Those pictures are really sweet...

The wheels are nice but I would have liked them more if they saved you 3-5 lbs per tire!

IF they gained weight I would have gone with 19's but that is just me!

1lb when its said and done doesn't amount to much, especially with over a 1 1/2 more rubber in the back. Acceleration improved some though because of the shorter tire.

Nice, man.

But, isn't it about time to change your screen name? Haha. I guess I'm in the same boat as you.

You see my Sedan that I picked up last month?

I wish I had this mad photo skill. I can't take a good picture and shop it to make it even better. I suck at it. And every time I see you post one just remind me how bad I am at it. >LOL<

Really awesome looks great.

I'm usually not very happy with other people's taste in rims, but yours look really great!

Awesome pictures too. I want to learn to take pix like that.

Was by no means a planned shoot. Driving home after lunch, I said let me see what I can come up with in this particular weather. The sky turned out exactly like I wanted. We need to set something up though, I'm always up for practice.

The picture is darn too perfect---looks as if it was photo-shoppped into that scene and weather. I urge you to send it to a auto magazine. They will love it. Even the Infiniti pictures don't come close to doing that level of justice to our cars.

Absolutely. Something in the morning or during sunset so my G does not glare
